Rich's AE86 projectu - 56K crashu

[rallyman1978]

Well after much worrying and 3rd parties getting involved I finally got my hachi a week ago today, thursday was MOT day and she sailed through with just a pair of rear tyres (30quid brand new) and the fog light, which was wired up into the original rear lights. Friday she got insured and off to the DVLA I went - paperwork was duly sorted and I paid the nice lady from the Ministry for the tax n stuff then had to wait for Tuesday to roll round to get the reg number
So half seven last night we made the number plates up and took the rear spoiler off and went out for a play

Got a few pics taken this week but I'll do some proper ones with the Digital SLR tomorrow if the weather's any good

Delivered to work


Sat outside the garage


Up on the ramps and very tidy underneath



Adjustable GAB rear suspension


Surface rust discovered when taking the gay skirts off




Spoiler waiting to be taken off


Bits I've noticed on the car that I didnt know when I bought it:
GAB suspension
2 way diff (Cusco)
Quickshift
Cusco Brake Servo Strenthener
Apexi Rad Cap
After-market ECU


Job List (in no particular order)

Sort the surface rust/repair and paint by my local bodyshop
Waxoil (shes had some done in Japland by the looks of it)
Damn good clean and valet
Sort the baulking from 3rd to 2nd - full trans and diff oil change too
Cambelts
Oil and Filter
Rip out the front and rear seats
Buy and install cage
Fit side mounts and fixed back FIA seats
Panel and carpet out the rear
Decat it
Take out the annoying bell thing that chimes at over 100KPH :smash:
Chuck on the Celica-Supra Rims and Yokies from Brother Betty
Sort out the high idle

So overall I'm very pleased, huge thanks go to Tofu Ben for sorting out what could have been a sticky situation, I would have no hesitation in recommending him and him alone in sourcing a car for anyone - wish I'd just dealt with him from the start but there we go

Comments good or bad welcomed
