...but I might as we'll

its a 86 sr5 ae86. I traded a wrecked s13 for it. It was someones drift car and you can tell.

No interior no real ignition but me and a buddy put toggle switches and a push button start. Shaved doors no sign of body damage or bondo.
needs light, seats, head gasket, fenders, Hood, and bumpers... should be fun.

Should be a fun project. And cant argue too much getting an AE with a body thats not mangled.

You know the saying can't turn a ho into a house wife.....that's basically my plan..

I think you can...................the quality of housewife might be questionable though lol. Sometimes its fun trying though.

Hey, who needs a housewife when you can get those other needs fulfilled!

Cool project, looking forward to your progress.

That is also true...so got it on blocks and pulled the shocks out. It had one camaro shock and one blown stock shock but it has Megan racing springs.
The front suspension is eBay special brand so got to change that too. Tomorrow I hope to pressure wash the wheel Wells and then undercoat them.

I absolutely hate drifting, just ruins perfectly good cars.

I'd save it. Any running JNC should be saved.

True got a lot of work ahead of me..

the black looks better than the other color that was on there

liquid51 · **Posted:** Wed May 09, 2012 2:23 pm

Yeah I plan on covering the who underbody and engine bay with the sound deadening undercoat. I really want the interior to be quiet as possible.

Did some more work on her....will post pics later...

Started to work on the head gasket...still cleaning the head. I hope to have one of cleanest sr5 engine bays.

Was testing out a temp paint job and got a little carried away with it.

Finished the head gasket, Ran into a broken bolt in the head. One of the small ones holding the rocker arm down, i broke the bit off inside trying to extract. So we bolted the rest down and are hoping for the best. If all goes bad like it shall 20r swap possibly. I know 20r weird huh, but I want to be different. Ofther then that I'm thinking a nice interior and stock exterior but slammed..

First started with taking the exhaust off...

them this happened...

and it all snowballed to this..

Going to get it all cleaned and seam welded. Trying to restore this car as much as possible..

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Thu May 31, 2012 9:38 am

LOL!!! Hate it when that happens!!! Hope it moves quickly and gets running soon.

liquid51 · **Posted:** Thu May 31, 2012 10:57 pm

Now the steering rack is taken apart.. trying to take all the wiring and hoses out of the engine bay.. then shaving and seam welding, reinforcing where it needs to be...

dont know if worth saving...
