Barry chases the last major rust holes in the AE86 and Reuben gets his C33 Laurel back up and running.
Sadly the AE86 pockets are not what we thought…Not to fear, Barry is on the case. We also check out a another Trueno bare shell build not too far from our shed.
Another slightly productive weekend at the shed. Barry calls around to do some more welding on the AE86 and show us his Wispa lunch combo. Reuben fixes his gearbox, sets fire to stuff and Dan calls down with some race drones.
In this episode the AE86 gets the front chassis leg straightened out. The Trueno was in a bit of a smash somewhere on its timeline in Japan and the left chassis leg is a little wonky. The progress is always accompanied by a bit of nonsense.
The Trueno gets the new roof fixed in place and Barry works his magic on the tedious bits of surrounding metal.
This is a little Christmas day treat. Happy Holidays to everyone who has been along for the ride so far. Hope its a good one.
Back to actual AE86 progress, the snow has melted and Barry returns to replace the rusty roof on the Trueno. We also tear down the 20 valve bottom end and rebuild the rear brakes. This one is pretty interesting.
We get some more work done on the AE86 but not without a bunch of distractions. Barry calls down to do some more metal work and we get carried away with fire.
In this episode, we paint some of my AE86 parts, we also learn about the Irish and UK spec AE86 Twin cam GT coupe. What a mouthful!
In this episode, we take a break from the Trueno and check out a V8 powered AE86. Flip also picks up one of his dream cars, an FC3s RX7 and we have a little fun with a Hyundai.
In this episode, we figured it would be the right time to explain my love for the AE86 and I sit Reuben down to give an explanation for the shed. A bit of a gift for reaching the 50k subscriber mark.
The AE86 loses more of its parts, almost being stripped of everything but the shell.
Things get a little “serious” with the Trueno, we finally start tearing it apart to get it ready for sandblasting, and as usual, we make things awkward. Enjoy…
The AE86 gets its final drive before being torn down for some much-needed restoration, we also take a look at our friend Rob’s import business.
So these snaps are a little later than I expected, I’ve been swamped the last month juggling stuff for the site, life and the new child aka the JB vlogs. Between doing those and trying to find time after working a nine to five and still have somewhat of a life has proven to be quite the task.
