Got my bumper in one piece. Need to smooth out and do a little bit more filling.

Some transmission shots for you guys. Tight fit but has space for vibration.

Also working on modding the sakura fab transmission mount since it didn't line up with my setup :(

Wes picked me up a tranny mount from an auto sr5. Sacrificed it to make a template to bring to Joey at Performance Options.

****CENSORED****picture_of_my_terrible_welds.jpg****CENSORED****

Pulled my dash to fix my heater core. Before

Panky's in Hayward hooked it up. I brought it in and BS'd with them for a while and 5 minutes later it was done free of charge :)

After, reinforced now with new silicone hoses (not doing this ever again)
Image

Installed and didn't have to remove the engine 8-)
Image

Got around to drilling the hole for my bell housing. Bolted the bell housing to the plate, flipped it over, threw a 3/8" drill bit in the chuck.

Image

Picked up my one piece. If anyone wants one PM me, I can get them done for any car (steel) for around $250 with your yokes/driveshaft pieces.
Image

Took out camber from the front to look more flush
Image

Rear pic just because
Image

Delays at the machine shop. Parts wont be done until next week, then I have to tap them myself for the 3/8's bolt so they are easy to remove/service the pilot bearing. GAHHH I just want to drive...

Also why not run a toaster toyota van axle?

Elaborate please! :D

Awesome build BTW; very impressed by the bodywork. Gives me inspiration for the inevitable bodywork I need to do on my car :P

Good luck with your build! Keep up the good work :)

On another note, I remember you used to have a DIY on the old Club4AG for a dash refurb.
You still rocking it? How's it holding up?

August 1st, 2008 I picked up my 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S off the original owner for $1150. I found it on craigslist listed as a "TOYOTA CARROLA"

^ This......when the AE86 looked the best IMO. It's just the "nostalgic" side of me.

Still, keep up the great work of keeping her sound! Viva RED ROLLAS!
