The Trueno gets neglected as we give the k11 March its final form. Rob has a Mitsubishi BBQ and we go off-roading.
The Trueno enjoys a little progress until we are distracted and rip apart the daily driver K11 March to unleash its final form!
We hit the road to Gatebil in Rudskogen Norway in a bad Transit loaded with Reubens C33 Laurel. Enjoy this half hour special documenting our trip to one of the craziest car festivals in the world.
We look at a forgotten AE92 race car on the roof in Flips shed and get some more work done on the AE86.
We head to the hills and check out a few hidden gems, a stunning Sileighty, and an angry JZX100 Cresta.
The AE86 shell progress moves forward and the shed experiences an unusual level of efficiency, we fix some lights have a BBQ and Bryan pulls his forgotten Trueno out for a wash.
In this episode, I take you to work at JDMDistro where my wheels for the AE86 arrive from Japan.
To be honest, I wish I took more photos of the car in this form before we tore it apart. I guess when you are in the moment you don’t really think of these things. As the car was slowly being torn apart, a little voice from the future came back to remind me that the 86 was never going to look like this again. As fucked as it looked, the car was already cemented into peoples minds like this and long after its restoration, this version will be the car people remember. It was still running and driving, just missing the dash and seats and cage and well everything from the interior. I quickly placed everything inside and brought it out for its final photo shoot.
Barry chases the last major rust holes in the AE86 and Reuben gets his C33 Laurel back up and running.
I had wanted to see this place for years. We are going to call this Person Mr X as this is what was requested. Being friends with MR X on facebook for a very long time and chatting back and forth about various cars he had imported, we already had a solid relationship. I had shot a few of his cars for the website at various track days over the years but never had the chance to visit his house, I had only seen photos of stuff for sale on Facebook. I was originally going to get a shell from MR X and build on it from there but then a whole other thing happened with the Trueno from Dans Garden.
Another weekend working on the AE86, Barry finds some tricky stuff, we find some more spidery surprised and playing with fire goes a little too far!
