ZaibachX's AE86

Post by ZaibachX »

I first got this on a rainy day in 09 for 600 for a rolling shell.
Image
Image
After bringing it home, I tried to give it a good cleaning.
Image
Image
Here's some pics of my backyard at the time. I took the engine from my old aw11. I had to get rid of it due to all the rust and other issues it had.
Image
Image
Then I picked up an origin kit from some guy who said he was leaving to serve in Korea for only $300 for the whole kit.
Image
Image
Image
Some test fitment and paint
Image
Image
Image
Image
Then mounting
Image
Image
Image
Image
Here's some pics of the rebuild
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Picked up a transmission from a friend and mounted it to the engine
Image
Pretty empty engine bay
Image
And voila!
Image
Image
Put in the driveshaft (LOL zipties)
Image
Then comes the interior, old stuff
Image
Image
Redid the dash in the meantime
Image
Put in my old aw11 seats
Image
Image
Side stuff, redid the tailight gaskets and LED'd my cluster
Image
Image
Got a broken trd wing and patch it up, and some cby flares and some diamond racing rims sometime in between then and now lol, sorry no progress pics. And here it is as it sits now:
Image
Image
Image
It's been pretty slow since my car is at home and I'm currently in school in a different city about 8 hours away for college. So I've been trying to save up.
My plans once I get home are to upgrade to AGX's, some small things here and there. It drives, but I need to adjust the timing I think. We'll see how it goes from here
Oh yeah forgot to mention I got a supra rear at home waiting to be put it, picked up a mk2 supra lsd, probably gotta rebuild both lol

wow nice work do you know if the shell had a 20v in it before you got it? it looks like it might have since the fire wall looks modified to fit the distributor. you really turned that shell around. looking good. the gold block and valve covers is a nice touch too
