I wasn't by any means happy..haha. I wouldn't have been so upset if it wasn't ONE WEEK before the huge Toyota show that I'm going to. Was already scrambling to finish other things, now I have to get this all ready too. Oh well, here's the progress so far..

[mak5603]

Put my car back together and got a new camera, so been playin around. Lemme know what ya think.

why does your hood and bumper not line up?

why does your hood and bumper not line up?

Exactly my question.

Exactly my question.

I dont have my hood latch extended right now, and I am using the rubber from the stock bumper, so...basically i could put washers under the bolts and not have the gap, but then I would not be able to open my hood. Its on my to do list but it works this way until I can weld an extra inch on the hood latch and I don't mind the look.

I asked him earlier in the thread. His hood latch isn't extended.

You have quite the eye catching dent on your hood above your driver side high beam

LOL, this is all anyone cares about my car ... Yeah, without the gap there is no way I could pop my hood, and considering I pop my hood basically daily, the gap is quite functional until i get my hood latch extended.

Thanks dude!!! ...yeah I know, I got the hood in pretty beat up condition and did all the work on it myself and when I painted my bumper I wanted to paint my hood at the same time since it wasn't my garage so it got hurried through prep and painted and I missed a couple spots. However the cars getting repainted within the next year or so, so the dent will no longer be there then...


Anyone else got some more flaws they'd like to point out about my car??

Everything looks good bro. I'm loving the wheels, and the way they match up with everything. It's a work in progress, and will only continue to get better

Yeah. I'm not in it

[mak5603]

^^ hehe thankyou hector and sleek, finally some heartwarming compliments.
Puget Sound Toyota Owners Festival was yesterday. Had A LOT of fun seeing all the yota's. Also, I may have found someone to trade their clean Hachi Roku coupe for my alltrac so we'll see.

The more I think about the trade, the better it sounds for both parties...He wants something else, something faster, I want something I can do stuff with (drifting) and something aside from AWD turbo which I will have enough of..Also his car is clean, my alltrac is cleanish but not as clean as I wish it were. Here's the AE I'm talkin about


By no means is this for sure or anything, I just talked to his friend, but I will be talking to him as soon as he gets back from vacation in mexico. My stepdad used to have an AE and despite its extreme slowness, it was a lot of fun to drive..one way or another I will prbably have one within a year or so. My plans are just coils, flushness, and 4AGZE. As my alltrac is, it will just be my project project car..since the 6gc is always the #1 project

I would definitely switch out the rims to Watanabes. And dude, an AE86 is my dream car. My dad has had his '85 AE86 since '87 so I've known it all my life. It's so much fun to drive!! Hopefully his gets passed down >:D if not... he's got a spare 4AGE block and head I could I always get creative with.. lol

[mak5603]

Yeah, those rims aren't my personal pref. But unlike the celica, the ae86 has some aftermarket support / there are A TON in my area and therefore lots of people open to trading and selling items on craigslist. The AE86 is definetly a great car for what it is and for its time. When I was like 14 my stepdad bought one at auction for $100. We fixed it up and he drove it for a couple years before selling it for like 20 times what he paid...haha. Really fun cars, is your dad's a coupe or hatch? modded? pics?

[HectortheRican]

My dad's is a coupe. I prefer hatchbacks though. Uhh, I don't have any of his car, but I have one of how it looks EXACTLY. Except my dad's rims are the stock ones.
