July 25, 200521 yr Author comment_60265 Nice work :D Whats the ETA for work progress? Thanks! In 2 weeks the real work begins. It would begin next week but I'm taking my AE86 to the track one last time next Friday before I start to strip her down. I think the project will be complete within 1-2 months guaranteed, updated weekly =) Report

August 13, 200521 yr Author comment_63895 well; how bad was it, really?i would much rather have a 72 body than an 86 i would love to do to bubba what you did The 86 was pretty bad. -3 degrees camber on one side and +.05 on the other. When I drop it on jackstands one side lands on the stand and theres a few inches before the other side would land. The frame also crumpled underneath and popped up behind the drivers seat, so I guess you could say it's pretty bad :) Report

August 26, 200521 yr Author comment_66407 Using the TE tophats... AE crossmember is a direct bolt-in... Almost... Done. Mmmm... More updates tomorrow! R&P, SS lines, TRD 6k springs, AGX 4 way adjustables, rebuilt calipers, Brembo blanks, PBR MetalMaster pads... I'm so excited :D Edited August 26, 200521 yr by 05m0515 Report
August 27, 200521 yr Author comment_66551 What you need to cut out to use the 86 steering rack... Using the 86 rubber booty... This would not bolt up so Jesse ground down the mounting tabs and we used washers... 86 booster and BMC will work but you must use the TE CMC unless you want to drill some holes... All in all I'm happy there's no more steering box :D Report
September 3, 200521 yr Author comment_67933 Maxed out the NRCA's :D Mmmmm, Goodridge lines all around :thumbup: Gas lines and brake lines are in now and so is the pretty blue CMC WOO f@$kIN HOO dual headlight conversion to get rid of those gross rectangles! The headache begins... Got some other boring stuff done that wasn't worth pictures like swapping everything from a bent strut casing to an unbent one and further cleaning of the interior/exterior. More updates soon and often :angrybird: Edited September 3, 200521 yr by 05m0515 Report

October 4, 200520 yr Author comment_74656 So the projects been moving slower with school starting and other stuff but here's a little heads up... RIP Killin some rust... Making the hole bigger for the gas tank... How to hold stuff up while you replace a crossmember? Zipties of course! Gettin ready for paint and stuff... Interior nice and black... With a coat of sparkle on top... Motor's getting gussied up before heading into the bay. T3 sent me the wrong parts for the second time, but unlike last time took care of the situation right away. Lot's of dumb stuff making it move slow lately like the x-member being bent and also a strut casing as well as losing some small parts I need, but I'm aiming for it to be done by the 23rd for DrifFest.
