My AE86

So here is a before.



And (sorry about the underground parking pics - it was raining a lot) here it is now!
I still have to put the new sunroof pad in (I have another one all painted and prepped). Now to tint out the windows and make it MOAR LOWAR!







And yes - that is a puppy dog in the car. His name is Oscar and he is wicked awesome. That is all!

Not a lot so far. I had a laundry list of things to do when i bought it. I primed it flat black until I could figure out what the heck I was going to do with it.

List of repairs I had to do to it:
lr caliper, front brake hoses, front wheel bearing repack, rear brakes, timing belt idler, belts, dist o-ring, plugs/wires/cap/rotor, clutch master, clutch slave, multiple exhaust leaks. A few other things I can't quite put my finger on.

Beyond the repairs it came with eibach springs and an OEM lsd. Canadian versions didn't come with an LSD so it's from the US. The backlash is set quite high so I am getting annoyed at the humming when decelerating. I bought a mom hub/wheel that hasn't arrived yet (have been waiting 4 weeks now!)

Mainly I have to figure out whether or not I want to pour some money doing this thing up or keeping it as a sweet daily driver and get a mk4 supra TT.

It's a good problem to have
