An Update on the AE86 and other projects in the shed after some time away from it all.
The never-ending selection was such a great moment the day we brought the Goodline bumper down from the distro to the shed; I had bought both the hood and bumper from Rob in Osaka two years previous, and it was a mission to get both of them home. Once I got the bumper, I would probably end up hanging it on the wall as Rob had painted his car black, and the bumper was the last remaining part of the car’s original look. I can see myself getting another good line bumper to use for track use, driving on the road, and mixing it up with the OEM front bumper and early spec lip for times I want to switch the lookup.
