Barry is back to cut the rust out of the AE86. Jackie calls down to apply fresh seam-seal the vulnerable parts of the Trueno! More progress and fewer distractions with this one.
With all this COVID 19 stuff, I’ve been going through all these photos recently, finally having time to sort them out and upload them on the site. One thing I’ve noticed is just how little time I have these days to do articles on the website.
Now that I have a bit of time to go back over these photos, it’s funny how optimistic I felt as we collected the shell from Sandblasting.
Bryan Loves cleaning…
Eamon not so much… His R32 looks amazing here. The BN kit on the four-door is 10/10 
Reuben wearing some of Barrys War collection.
Evans little EP71 under the shed light.
We get back on track with AE86 progress, we build a spit for the Trueno, rebuild the starter motor and get the shell ready for undersealing.
In this episode, we head over to the other Barrys shed to see the family car collection. Barry and his Brother have stunning R32 Skylines and a few nice Hondas.
Some of the best cars in Ireland are tucked away in the most unassuming sheds. We take a trip to two very unassuming locations to shed light on some AE86s, DC2 Integras, Civics and some starlets .
We test fit the AE86 roll cage, Duggie fits some bits to the 4A-GE and Barry calls down to hack rust out of an old Toyota. Just another weekend at the shed.
We finally figure out the official Toyota AE86 production numbers on a Toyota parts Database CD and we head to Ace Motorfactors to get some parts blasted for the Trueno.
We head to Irelands largest gathering of Japanese cars. An annual event held at Mondello Raceway, Japfest is the largest gathering of Japanese cars in Ireland and usually brings out some unexpected treats.
In this episode, we fall down the rabbit hole, trying to find out how many AE86’s Toyota produced worldwide. This episode started because two of our Truenos were 40 cars between each other on the assembly line in 1987 and now they live in the same shed. We also uncover some rare photos and interviews with the head designers and engineers on the AE86 chassis.
Late one evening, a message landed in the Juicebox inbox on Instagram, it was from a Scottish chap called Michael. He was heading to Ireland to pick up a few bits for his 86 and wanted to swing by the shed.
You’ve more than likely seen the recent vlog episode about Sean and Barry, two brothers with an undeniable love for old Japanese cars, preferably old Toyotas. I’ve known the lads a very long time, and I’ve always admired Sean persistence with his builds.
Two brothers with a long love for all things AE86 and Toyota, open the doors to their garage and let us have a look around.
This is an AE86 heavy episode. We rebuild the 20 Valve Blacktop 4A-GE for the Trueno and we get a surprise 86 visitor from Scotland.
