project ae86 3sgte :) by marley4us

6 minute(s) of a 221 minute read

Finished smoothing it out. Purchased Stain, and Polyurethane clear gloss sealer, and nuts to mount inside the shifter.

First layer of stain

second layer of stain

Third layer of stain

I am waiting to see how dark this layer turns, and if it will match the wheel or I need another layer. In the morning I will add the clear gloss, with lots of layers for durability and a shinny finish!

Clear coat, here is the first few coats

This is why I love my MX5... just wish the mr2 or the ae86 got gas millage like this. 185miles and still got 3/4 a tank!

Finished the shifter, and I have to save I am pretty darn proud! It could use some wetsanding to smooth out the many coats of clear. but other then that perfections side man I can not believe I hand made this! 

And it matches my wheel pretty good! Not bad for pilfering left over wood from my Halloween costume stilts lol!

Finally picked up a pressure washer, little cheap-o but it works.

The engine bay was soooo grimmed and caked on with sludge and what looks like stuff from Ghostbusters goo on. 

Thanksfully this little pressure washer, got a ton of it off. 

Starting to look cleaner!

I am soaking the engine bay in grease remover, and I will pressure wash it again tomorrow morning, then soak again if needed.
