[sc86]

Have this project thread on ae86irl, thought some of you my be interested
i know some wont lol
Have it 8 months now...
here goes


Bought this a few days back and took a few pics today
gona buff and polish it at the weeknd and mayby paddy spec it after xmass
the car was up around here when it was imported in 07 because there was local dealer stickers on it, dont know anymore about it
It came from cork so mayby a few heads know it
Nice clean levin, needs a new bootlid but very good shell + running gear

Bit of a update, started to properly paddy spec it over xmass by takin of the bumper, but then i took of the lights and grill aswell lol
Have new lights front + back, new bumpers, splitter + arch mouldings got ready to go on, have to fit bootlid aswell
Didnt get much time at it lately but in no panic
It got fully pollybushed over the xmass aswell

this is how it sits in the garage now



Next to get removed was the arch mouldings as some clown painted them white and sealed them on, to be honest i was afraid what was behind them as i couldnt see why youd seal them on, thankfully the rear arches are as good as the rest of the shell, has recess to which is rare for japper
cant beat jap shells, next job is to underseal it

Brought it to the panel beaters today and started at it

New bumpers, back lights, front lights, toyota strip, bumper units
Fitted second hand splitter and arch mouldings
