Ep.34 Reassembly......but not soooo fast. Reassembly may seem like a breeze, but remember this is a resto-mod project so all the old nasty parts need to be restored before being put back on this fresh newly painted machine. Thanks for your patience.

Ep36...Finishing up the exterior bits and starting on the interior!!!
This ae86 project takes another step forward. Also I clean up the exterior door handle and add some thermo-coustic barrier to the floor of the 86.

Woa dude, you're younger than I thought! haha.

Good videos man, I haven't seen many but I like the detail. Many 86 channels on youtube are just horribly drift bucket oriented and really annoying to watch.

What? You mean you haven't subscribed yet? Haha......it's all good. With my channel i'm trying to actually show the work as I go rather than just making videos of showing what has already been done....very challenging i must say as you can't show everything...anyway, glad you checked it out.....thanks.

looks like you will have your hands busy for a while lol Suspension work is a lot more fun than interior work for sure. I went the easy route and just left everything gutted and used the T3 panels.

It's starting to look like a car....nothing brings it together like getting the interior installed. This episode I take another step forward to getting this ae86 on the road again. Check out the video.

After a few more touch ups. (T3 shifter rebuild kit, painting seats, etc) I decided it was time to take this ae86 out on public roads....but not everything goes as planned...

Link to video: https://youtu.be/yQ9SvIP85ks
In my previous episode I left with a bad taste in my mouth as my diff was making a loud whining and my rear brakes were dragging me down....here I take 2 steps back in order to take a step forward. I rebuild the differential and add a rear brake adjustable proportioning valve.....but will I be able to redeem myself and have a proper test drive?

Great video man! I loved seeing the backlash measurements with the micrometer. I've never made it that far with mine but I feel like it might be coming up and I feel pretty confident I can handle that tedious work. Might need a few beers to keep the patience going but still doable! Keep crushing it!

Sorry it's been sooo long since my last video...I reveal what has been taking up all my time. Then I Fix the fuel level sender and refurbish a battery tie down bracket. Mock up the front and rear bumper covers.
Also, Gotta backtrack yet again and fix this exhaust and get this car straight so i can finally start the bodykit install.

looking and sounding good man, I love your paint job. Where did you get the body kit from? The fitment shouldn't be that far off I would think.

Thanks man....here's a link to the body kit...it's just a cheap jblood knock off....wonder if they mistakenly sent me like a wide body rear bumper??? Oh well, I've already started fixing it and that'll be in the next vid.

In this first of a few episodes I begin installing the rear bumper on the 86. Cutting and reglassing, Fabricating brackets, and bumper supports to get it to fit properly....what more could you want??
Enjoy...

Solid work man, when I work with fiberglass, to me it is easier to saturate the matt first then lay it. I find I get less bubbles that way. It does make a huge mess though on large sheets like you were using. I was digging the side brackets too. I think they'll look great once they're painted. I will always take functionality over cosmetics on pieces like this since no one will really see them. If you are that worried about it, sand em dowm a bit with a DA then get them painted or powder coated!
Cheers!

Hey thanks a lot man! The side brackets actually don't look too bad after I painted them black.....but like you said...no one will ever see them. Thanks for watching!

Now that the rear bumper is ready for bodywork, it's time to get the sideskirts installed. But all is not so easy as I have to make several corrections to these skirts to fit right. Thanks for watching.
