The Day has come! The AE86 Goes To The Paint shop.

The Day has come! The AE86 leaves the shed after five years and goes to the paint shop.

AE86 4A-GE Late Night Skids

I love unexpected nights like this, this stuff is always going on I just never want to shed too much heat onto lads who are out letting off some steam using their pride and joy. I think I’ve been documenting various lads and groups going night drifting for a long time, it’s well planned out, and low-key, the lads are out there to let off some steam usually on a dead-end road which we have been blessed to call a local area, it’s a quick burst of skids and then its time to go.

PowerCraft and AE86 Spam

Nothing to see here but more AE86 photo spam with cool parts. A Power Craft manifold, something I had lusted after since 2009, it only took about 12 years to get my hands on one.

Raw AE86 Drifting – 4A-GE Late Night Escape

A little escape from the grind with a few friends, pushing the limits of their road-going 4A-GE AE86s and some shed shenanigans.

Installing Tomei Cams and the first Donuts

I have a lot of respect for Bryan, I’d be completely lost without him steering the ship on this build, when things get a little daunting, he’s usually there throwing some sort of suggestion or idea that saves the day. A few nights before the car went for paint we installed the Tomei Poncams, and it really opened my eyes up to just how much effort goes into this stuff.  I’ll let the photos speak for themselves here, Im sure most of you landed here due to the videos, as I’ve mentioned many times Im incredibly grateful to be surrounded by the right kind of people on this build.

First Rings in the AE86!

New camshafts and first rings in the AE86 Trueno before it goes to paint.

Barrys Final Day on the AE86

A day I thought would never come, we had been at this for over five years at the time of these photos. This was an emotional day for both of us, we had both been so emotionally invested in this car over the last few years, Barry finished the front arch and gapped the front end and rear before hitting the hills.  Without Barry this car would have never happened, along with Bryan, Flip or Jackie, key players in this car’s restoration, I wouldn’t have been able to undertake such a mission. I’m forever grateful for knowing these guys and having their influence and drive throughout the build.

Painting The Cam Cover and Sorting The Bmw

Here are a few photos from the night we installed the cam cover and the pulleys, a vision I had for this for a long time I was curious to see if it would work out.

We refreshed the AE86’s cam cover with some sparkle paint and give the BMW some attention.

Barry Finished the AE86’s Rear Arches


I could watch Barry forever working on this car and others, working with metal has always fascinated me and it’s been an absolute blast watching him figure things out with this car and slowly remove all the misery. It’s mad to think it’s over a year since I shot these photos, the last few weeks before the car went for paint, Barry devoted his weekends to calling down and wrapping up the flared arch work on the Trueno. I divided that work into four episodes one for each arch as I loved having Barry on the videos chatting shit and showing us how he does it. I’ll leave these photos to speak for themselves, someone might appreciate how he does it, a dying craft, very much on a dying platform, a blog post!
