I love how much the 86 pocket joke has grown. These are questionable design flaw on the 86. The area is prone to moisture, and the only real purpose the pocket serves is to help keep the bumper on. It’s a notorious spot to rust on these cars and people usually gauge the car’s overall health here in Ireland by what pocket condition. A long-standing joke amongst Irish 86 heads, you often see people talk about them when figuring out if its a solid car or not. I love the fact we got it going with the vlogs.

Valve lapping is up there with taking out the sound deadening and removing the sealer from the wheel wells. Three of the most miserable parts of this car so far. For everything else, I’m lucky to have people like Barry and Bryan helping otherwise id be screwed.

Lapping felt like forever, so why not bring the head to some scenic spots, take in the sights and enjoy the more beautiful things in life, like beaches and misery. I still get a chuckle from these pics. Good times…

Barry chases the last bits of rust on the AE86 shell before we give the underneath a coat of protection. This progress is interrupted many times by a variety of distractions.

Our friend Rob has a pretty cool collection of Mitsubishi Evo’s hidden right around the corner from our shed. Its about time we give you a tour of his unit packed full of Cool Mitsubishis.

Barry is back to cut the rust out of the AE86. Jackie calls down to apply fresh seam-seal the vulnerable parts of the Trueno! More progress and fewer distractions with this one.

Throughout this whole build, Barry has been a critical ingredient in keeping me calm and pushing forward. He also likes to fuck with me as much as possible, especially when I’m completely vulnerable like a helpless child watching him cut the car into pieces.

Barry is back to cut the rust out of the AE86. Jackie calls down to apply fresh seam-seal the vulnerable parts of the Trueno! More progress and fewer distractions with this one.

We get back on track with AE86 progress, we build a spit for the Trueno, rebuild the starter motor and get the shell ready for undersealing.

We hit the racetrack in the K11 daily driver March and go for another run in the Civic. The guys at Trackdays.ie were nice enough to invite us to another day out so we couldn’t resist. Barry calls down to finish Adrians Carina and we sort some coils for the 4A-GE.

We take a look at Josh’s new BMW E30 project and the K11 March is treated to new shoes.

We head to Irelands largest gathering of Japanese cars. An annual event held at Mondello Raceway, Japfest is the largest gathering of Japanese cars in Ireland and usually brings out some unexpected treats.

In this episode, we fall down the rabbit hole, trying to find out how many AE86’s Toyota produced worldwide. This episode started because two of our Truenos were 40 cars between each other on the assembly line in 1987 and now they live in the same shed. We also uncover some rare photos and interviews with the head designers and engineers on the AE86 chassis.

Late one evening, a message landed in the Juicebox inbox on Instagram, it was from a Scottish chap called Michael. He was heading to Ireland to pick up a few bits for his 86 and wanted to swing by the shed.

You’ve more than likely seen the recent vlog episode about Sean and Barry, two brothers with an undeniable love for old Japanese cars, preferably old Toyotas. I’ve known the lads a very long time, and I’ve always admired Sean persistence with his builds.

Let’s kick things off again with part two of last years BBQ. Like I said in the previous post, we cram as many images as we can into these articles, mainly because the quality of cars that attend the BBQ is truly incredible. We want to show as much of what made it to the event as we can. It’s always a reminder of the thriving Irish car scene.
