DK AE86 renovation and turbo project - Now driveable

[Veiss]

Hi,

I've seen so many good projects on the forum, that I think it is about time I write a little about my AE86 project.

I bought the car a couple of years ago, from a man in the mid 50's. He had bought it from a guy back in 1988, so I'm the third person to own the car. He had spent alot of time keeping the rust down, but he didn't know about the rear wheel arches, so they are rusted away.
The car has had PAVA (rust protection) every winter he owned it. So I must say it is in pretty good condition.
A couple of weeks after i bought the car i blew the headgasket, and i decided to go for something with a little more power, so I went out and bought a supercharged engine imported from Japan (165HP 4AGZE). I've posted some pictures of the procedure below. I used the original enginemanagement system, which i had a tuning guru here in Denmark modify, with some new parts, so it could manage the supercharger, and fuelnozzles(?).

Just recently I've turned in the number plates and cancelled the insurance, so the car has seen it's last winter on the roads.
I'm going to completely rebuild the car, with rust and accessories. Unfortunately it has an aftermarket sunroof, which is pretty leaky, so I'm looking for something that I can install instead. I'm considering installing an original sunroof, or maybe a glassfiber plate.
After i have repaired all the rust, I'm going to have it painted in the original color, with some metallic and a touch / tinge of blue.

I've started buying the stuff I'm going to install in the car when it is MOT-tested OK.
This includes:

KKK K16 Turbo with 360degrees racing bearing
Noname BOV in red
4A-G Hi-Comp, Small Port / Big Port Adapter
HKS Rep. 2½" In and 4" tip muffler
Polished oil catch tank
T3 Short Throw Shifter
KYB AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks Front and rear for coilover kit
GC coilovers
T3 lateral rod
T3 Roll Center Adjusters

I'm currently waiting for the package with the 4A-G Hi-Comp, Small Port / Big Port Adapter, Roll Center Adjusters and my short shift kit. It should arrive in a week or so.

I'm really looking forward to bringing the AE86 back into mint condition, and I will keep you guys updated on the project with pictures and comments as the progress proceeds.
