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

Re: "nostalgia"
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)
Installed and didn't have to remove the engine
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.
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.
Took out camber from the front to look more flush
Rear pic just because
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...

Elaborate please!
Awesome build BTW; very impressed by the bodywork. Gives me inspiration for the inevitable bodywork I need to do on my car
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?

There shouldn't be a day that goes by where you don't learn something new.

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!
