so over fall of last year decided to get an ae86 (my dream car) and drop a 20v into it. well..... found alot of reasons why getting an sr5 was the wrong way to go but, o well im stuck with what i have for now. basically, car started out looking like complete crap. there wasnt a spot on the car that the paint actually looked decent enough to please my eye so out came the sanding block and body filler. then, shortly after the primer settled the valve-tick took it's toll on my motor and boom...there went the little 4ac. so, amongst the list of things to fix on the car, i now add a motor, harness, and all the stuff that goes with that. when i picked the motor up i decided that it could use a little clean up and, well since im already spending a lot of money, why not spend more right? so most of the exterior pieces to the motor were replaced with either fresh stock parts or preferred performance ones. after i did all of this i figured i may as well go ahead and work on the looks of the car as well. i love a sleeper but....the way it looked was just plain bad. so...now we have a longer list of parts, time, and work that has to go into the little beast-in-a-box 86.
