Battle Version
Posted by on June 21, 2011
So here it is, after busting our chops for the last month trying to get the AE86 Ready for next weekends drift practice its all gone to sh*t.
To say im gutted is an understatement but its out of my control as my engine tune guy has taken personal leave for family reasons etc and isnt available to get my car ready.
ENTER THE GHETTO GARAGE BATTLE VERSION A31
Ratboy and Lips had originally picked up this ceffy for the engine and box to convert the S12
They had got it really cheap from a friend who had, had it written off from an accident to the passenger side
which had bent a strut, broken a tie-rod outer and bending the hell out of the sill panel and doors.
After 3 hours of panel beating with a 4wd drive and big hammers its looking alright.
Still have a few more repairs and mods to go
Look out for me at the matsuri cant EFFN WAIT!!
Thanks heaps to Josh Ratboy and Lips

So I’ve finally started to look at Mona again. Then I decided to look at the hub assy:
See anything unusual?
Yea. That’s right. The knuckle is on back-to-front. That ain’t gonna bolt up to anything. Sigh…. Lesson here is to QC any work, even if you trust the shop doing it. I mean, they even dismantled the old one! No excuse as to why it’s backwards. Silly me for not seeing it earlier also.
So with the added rage of the above I went to town on the bolts to get the mount plate off. Got it off with the extra rage bonus to my attacks:
Ran the bits down to the mechanic. Hoping to have them back tomorrow arvo so I can finally start the rebuild!
