Ive always wanted an ae86 and after crashing my 71 I decided to buy a shell and chuck all my gear into it. So last week I picked up a non rolling shell (which is actually not hard to transport). It has a bit of rust and is only half painted. lol. But i plan on cutting out the rust whilst it in in shell form so I wont have to do it again.

 

Anyway here's some info and plans!

 

Its a 83 ADM sprinter, has a modplate LA1option3.

 

Ill be chucking in a JDM 4age bigport, T50, Jasma stainless extractors, 2.25 mandral bent exhaust system, and hopefully a T series Diff (if i can find one for a good price), front and rear strut braces.

 

For suspension I have some 8kg front coilovers wiv JDM brakes all the way from jdm land, probly some Corona lca's, 6kg ###### rear springs and some agx shocks. and a ###### adju panhard rod. Ill be also chucking my Superlites on unless I find some epic rims i like better.

 

Will be keeping interior pretty stock but will be chucking my obx recliners in the front and my nardi wheel. And eventually getting a cage. Got a pretty different looking front bar aswell (possibly JDM levin).

 

And after it all gets up and driving Ill paint the rest of the car. Atm it only needs roof and rear quarters done. The paint colour looks sorta like phantom purple. But not sure as I don't have the colour code. Will probs keep the car purple but I'm gana have satin black bumpers with a gloss black bonnet.

 

Ill post up and update more when I work on the car

 

 

 

 

Here's some parts for it :jamie:

Panhard Rod

 

Front Bumper

looks quite straight, hopefully there are no nasty surprises under the pain.

 

Maybe you can explain something for me, why does everyone have the V-opt stickers on their car? I don't get what that site is about.

 

also don't bother installing a rear "strut brace" unless its off the seat latch mounts.

Man, I wish I had that answer for you. The car came with that sticker. Maybe for street drift cred?? :jamie:

 

why no rear strut brace?

because sprinters don't have rear strut towers and hence they do nothing but slow your car down with extra weight

Oh k. good to kno. Well maybe some type of rear brace that works :jamie:

yep, well keep the pics coming as you update ok?

Yep will do.

 

I picked up some seat rails so my buckets will be going into the car tomozza. And a pedal box

And also picking up a diff and the rest of the pedals tommoro oh and I got my rooflining re done in black and it will be ready aswell!

 

Will take some more pics tommoro :jamie:

was yours missing the pedal box or something?

Finally some pics guys! Its getting very close, just need to get a few more things and it will be done bar paint and cosmetic shit.
