We install brake lines on the AE86 and eventually get the callipers to work. As usual, it’s not without a slice of typical Trueno torture!

The AE86 rolls out of the shed for the first time in daylight with an engine, and we push it over to flips to sort an exhaust manifold setup.
Considerable progress on the AE86. We fit the 4A-GE and gearbox Trueno and a few other small bits. Another step towards starting this thing!

Flips RX7 fires up for the first time, and it sounds glorious, and we fit wheels to my AE86.

A Hidden shed Tour! We take a look at a freshly built AE86 Levin and a shed full of Japanese classics.

Being able to drop parts at the depot in Japan was once in a lifetime stuff. Here was a Goodline 86 hood, which I had listed after for many, many years. We barely snugged it into the back of the Alphard and drove halfway across Japan to drop it off just outside of Tokyo.
YES! Parts and magazines Arrive at JDM Distro from our Japan in a Van trip, making it one of the best days ever at work.
