This is more of an "Off Topic" post, but I hope this will be ok to post here. Along with my never ending AE86 project, I have also been building a motorized drift trike. It will be powered by a predator 212cc motor. In order to get it "driftable" I still need to get rims/tires, f...

** UPDATE ** Made a bash bar to mount my rear bumper Over the past couple of months, I have been pondering how to mount my kouki rear bumper to my AE86. earlier in this thread, I fab'ed up some homemade bumper brackets which worked, but were crudely thrown together and didn't sit as well as I had ho...

Nice video, I have to do something like this in the future and will definitely use this as a reference point! Thanks, let me know if you have any questions when you start on your own bar. Great DIY video! I think your initial brackets were already good as the OEM version. (Also, more info on that b...

Hello all, Over the past couple of months, I have been pondering how to mount my kouki rear bumper to my AE86. A while ago, in my build thread, I fab'ed up some homemade bumper brackets which worked, but were crudely thrown together and didn't sit as well as I had hoped. I liked the idea of a rear b...

I got the T3 shifter bushing kit years ago, as one of my first "mods" to my corolla. Still the best "bang for buck" mod I have done to it. The difference after replacing the bushing was absolutely astonishing. Hard to believe something so simple can totally change the feel of you...

Keep up the great work man, I just subbed to your channel, thanks for the comment and sub on my first video!

Well, the body is in its first coat of high build primer. Although it feels really good getting to this point, I can now see a lot more imperfections than I could before. I just have to get to blocking and see how bad those trouble spots are going to be. Anyways, on to the pics! http://i16.photobuck...

Wow, those are some serious parts! Cant wait to see more progress on this. Once I get the body done,ill be rebuilding a smallport 16v out of an AE92 and swapping it in. That or ill end up going black top, decisions decisions hahaha. Unfortunately, I don't know much about building engines so I guess ...

Nice job especially on the seam sealer work! I didn't think about that when I did on my white coupe project. You can see a little but it wasn't easy applying the sealer on the stitched welds. Than I decided to use masking tape technique and came out much better. Awesome man!, glad the tape method w...

Fenders and doors look awesome man. As far as flares go, I know on mine with the wheels I'm running, we are rolling the front and rear and giving the front a tiny bit of negative camber to get them fitting under the fenders i.e. -2-3 degrees. The rears we have to pull as well but shouldn't be much ...

I got a little bit of work done this weekend. Long ago before this project started, I bought a bulk box of Dynamat. For years it sat in my room collecting dust until finally this weekend I decided to start installing it. So far, I have installed the Dynamat on the roof and the floor. I still plan on...

I did some more epoxying last night. I might shoot another coat when I get home today or maybe try and hit it with a coat of high build before the re-coat window on the epoxy ends, but idk yet. I still have quite a bit of "ghosting" on the body filler areas but that should all disappear wh...

Did some more bodywork over the weekend, its getting there, just super slow. I managed to seam seal the interior on Saturday. I still have to do the trunk and wheel wells, but overall the process wasn't too bad. The seam sealer hardens extremely fast, so make sure you take that into account if you e...

Keep pushing. It looks bitchin. I just don't have the patience for body work so mines in the shop now for paint. Every minute counts when it comes to body work and it looks like you're doing it the right way. Thanks for the kind words. I definitely think I bit off a bit more than I could chew with ...

Looking good! What white epoxy did you use all over the front end? I'm about to that point on my car, I have industrial epoxy from work, but might use automotive epoxy primer. Any white you see, is the paint the car had before i started. The grey primer on the other hand is Nason Ful-Poxy. Nason is...

Small update No excuses, I just suck :( Progress has been extremely slow over the summer. The main reason seems to be lack of motivation. I missed my deadline again and after that, motivation fell through the floor. Taking a car down to bare metal and slowly building it back up is friggin job for on...

Nice progress! That wheel well looks just as clean as the body now. :P What are you planning on doing about undercoating? Good question haha. My plan is to maybe do another coat of epoxy primer then use 3m heavy bodied seam sealer on all seams. Let it dry and then use a 2k sealer paint coat followe...

Real quick update since I have been slackin... Other things have gotten done I just haven't uploaded the rest of the pics. Rear fender wells are epoxy primed and the front fender wells are totally stripped and should be in epoxy primer sometime this weekend. That leaves the Front windshield area and...

**Update Time** I have actually made some decent progress on the corolla over the past couple weeks. Although it probably won't seem like much from this post, a lot of little things that I dreaded attempting to fix has gotten done. The rear bumper brackets are about 95% finished as well. They turned...

looking for s2k update goodness.....sadly I found none

Looking good EvoSolley! :) I know I've said this before, but this build is really inspiring, especially for a DIY-er like myself. I can't wait to see the finished product! :D Thanks man, me too! I want to get this thing DONE lol Smallish Update I have been able to pull together some free time to wo...

I guess there is a limit on how many pictures we can post now or something haha I'll try and post the rest of the message here. On a positive note though, I am just about done rolling the inside lip of the rear fenders: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/katanaweapon/AE86/20150627_234844_zpsr57twg...

**Update Time** So my modified due date of my birthday was a bust. I'm a bit further along but no where near being done completely. Problems and setbacks just keep popping up :( . The latest of which is the rear passenger wheel well :x :x My idea was to scrape off all of the current undercoating fro...

Your car is coming out great. Are you going to block down the primer with like 600 grit before paint? That'll make it the paint come out really nice with enough surface to adhere to. Also, I feel your pain about the blood, sweat, and tears. I was workin on my other car trying to get off the exhaust...

Man...I love this corolla! Have you been able to work on your JDM rear bumper at all? Looks great glad you are back driving it, must feel great!

Well.... lets just say the past couple of days have been interesting. I got the rear windshield area stripped and primed but there was a bit of a setback. First a little story.... Monday night I was chugging along, grinding down some small rust areas around where the trunk sill sits. I was just abou...

Got to do some work on the corolla this past week/weekend. Got the roof, passenger rocker, and passenger door frame, stripped and coated. Also scuffed and epoxied the passenger under fender area. While I was at it, I worked on getting the drivers quarter panel a little more straight. I still have to...

EvoSolley, Your build thread is my favorite! The car is looking great! :D So what's your background? I've just noticed the welding, paint, and bodywork you've been doing, and everything looks like it's coming out good! I'm a novice at all of this stuff myself, but I feel I'm a pretty good DIY-er, s...

Unfortunately, progress has slowed to a crawl, but at least something has gotten done :D With spring just around the corner and temps slowly climbing in my area, progress should really start to kick in. My initial goal of having the car done by the end of this month is probably not going to happen, ...
