so, this is my new project that I'm picking up this weekend, as you can see its not the prettiest thing around. it has alot of rust, i mean A LOT! still havent seen it in person but who is gonna complain when its this cheap... it has a 4ac in it at the moment and no gearbox or interior, hopefully be able to build it into something fun, and not spend too much money!

 

sorry about the shitty pic, its all i have got that shows the good side...

looks good though!

 

Good luck with not spending too much money, especially on these things when you can buy so much cool stuff for them.

 

Looking forward to seeing more photos!

 

What engine plans do you have for it?

ill post up some close ups the bloke sent me of the rust, and a few other angles, fair bit of body work but its only for track anyway. and yes i was looking around on ebay and everywhere else, there is waaaay too many sweet things you can do to these haha.

and for the engine I'm still not sure, maybe start with just a 4age to get the feel for drifting because ive never been on a track in a dedicated car before, just dirt roads and wet weather in all sorts of cars haha but if an sr pops up fairly cheap that would be the go!

heres some pics of it sitting in my yard haha, have only started to strip the interior out of it and i took one of the rear windows out too see how much rust there was hiding...

oh and i put the MA61s off my panelvan to make it look a little bit prettier...

Rally it! Drifting is too easy... The shell looks pretty bad to think about putting it back on the road, but a 4AGE and an Altezza 6-speed would make it fly!

yea its been defected for the rust in 2005.... its bad haha am much more keen on drifting because there is a track about 50ks from my house, no idea were any rally events are around here apart from dirt circuit haha

Ah good to see it went to a good home, i had a look at it before it was on Gumtree. don't have the tailshaft do u? I got told the 4ac was blown???

thats some fairly bad rust, have a look behind the rear bumper have seen bad rust on them there too

ahhh not sure about the motor have to have a suss when its out, i do have the rear half of the talshaft but not the front, yea ill have a look behind there, the rust isnt worrying me too much seems that i am a boilermaker shouldnt be too much to worry about haha

Keen to see the progress of this one. Any updates?

considering not worrying about this project, got a heaps clean ke70 for cheap off a mate as a donor car for my panelvan because my motor had blown, and i might swap parts from this 86 to make a track car out of the ke70, be much easier as no body work needs doing, already has front to rear weld on guards all the bushes underneath replaced the only down side to it is that its got no compliance plates so can't be registered. but if anybody wants this shell + guards all glass uncracked dash, i am willing to sell fairly cheap, i just want the crossmembers and struts.
