Project AE86 aka the never ending project by marley4us

Fitment is sooooo close!

Decided to fix my bumper up. before the car gets sent off to paint.

Had some pre mixed fiberglass longstrand hair left from other projects.

here is how it looked when I got the bumper with the car.

cut on one side

Broken corner, and the whole bottom bit broken off

Cracks on many of the supports and just all over

started glassing the cracks

glassed the cut area

started to fix the edge and the underside 

I will do some sanding tomorrow and see if I need to add more or just smooth here out.

Started playing with my mirrors too, since they where a bit banged up, I played some CF over them. I will need to trim it up, but it should look good with the matching doors.

more weight reductions parts in! just waiting for my runfree hatchwith wing, should be in this month, then I will weigh in the car!

started trimming up the cf, and put the first coat of clear on it, got a few more coats I will put on them buff it out.

2nd coat

Well I am pretty surprised how well it turned out! just need to clean it up a bit, but here ya go.

I am also going to do the mount, and now work on the otherside!

Mirror 98% finished!

kinda debating if I want to keep it 2 piece, or just go one, as it would be so much easier...

Got back from San Francisco, had a good time seeing friends and family. Got to take my dad camping for a late bday/early fathers day. Then went to my friend johns engagement dinner 10 course Chinese dinner! what a good time!

but back to the car..

Finished up the brakes!

My Brembo blanks came in, thanks to Aaron for machining them out for me.

Mounted them up, man they look good! way better then oem, I can not wait to test them out on this car!

More carbon fiber bits, hood, and the passenger side door, I need to install both of these soon, maybe tonight if I feel up for it.

Also got a MOMO tuner wheel and hub while in the bay area for cheap! It was for a mr2, and the hub is actually the same!

Installed it, fairly strait forward:

pop the square horn off

There is a 19mm nut on there, take that off.

Wiggly the wheel off the hub.

Slap the new wheel in place at the same angle. and re-install the 19mm nut and horn wire.

all done!

well I sold my TRD wing off, and the OEM hatch.... glad to start cleaning up the garage. 

My package came into San Diego, so me and my buddy xene went to go pick it up.

This thing was wayyyy bigger then we thought... lol this is what happend for the 90 mile drive back home

Its a Runfree Fiberglass hatch with built in wing. man it looks good, I need to test fit it, and mount it up.

I measure it all out, and went to a local plastics stores to get some polycarbonate for the rear window...stuff cost 80 bucks to get cut to shape. 45 3/4inch by 31 inch tappered to 38inch. I should be able to pick it up one monday, and glue it in.

One more package came.

My DIY 4link, yes!!! so close to being done with buying parts.
