    Bringing an 86 back from the dead

    The time is nigh to get the car back from it's wrap, just a bit of a shame that the weather is so shocking this week! I'll be saving posting any pics up until i've had a chance to get it outside and make a little "reveal" video but also because I really want to take it down to Fuel Coffee house just outside Henfield This Saturday (they open at 11am) to give a chance to have a little meet with friends and anyone that's interested in seeing it in the flesh before i post up any videos/pictures online, so if you'd like to pop down for a coffee and to see the car, I hope to see you there! But in the meantime i've made a few small videos for my youtube channel. The first couple of videos were a 2 part vlog just going over the history of the car, the repair, the costs, etc which of course anyone reading this has likely already seen so I won't bore you with a link to that but the other shows off the completion of the custom fibreglass work on the Rocket Bunny diffuser. It was quite a long process which wasn't without it's headaches for both myself and the painter but i'm thrilled with how it turned out, the idea i had in mind coming to reality really pays off. After getting the Surround of the "V" light fibreglassed in to rocket bunny diffuser it was largely a case of tweaking the position, fixing any cracks that occured from that and then building up the surrounding area with Fibreglass based filler and eventually fine body filler. Doing so allowed me to sand back and form the shapes that I was looking for around the edges of the light so it looked as intentional as possible. When it was close to completion i then passed it off to a friend of mine who wanted to finish up the filler work and then paint it gloss black, unfortunately for the both of us my fibreglass and filler materials reacted quite badly with his paint which I know can be quite a common issue for painters when dealing with someone elses' work which was why he wanted to finish the filler work himself but unfortunately I think it was a bit late at that point as the bulk of the material had been added by me. Either way some fantastic work on their end they were able to get it complete and it came out looking incredible, super smooth and in a really glassy gloss black finish. I delivered it down to Monster wraps and i'll see it next when I get the car back! Video of the diffuser work here: https://youtu.be/cFae3AD4A0k

    Hey GT86 Crew

    JDM cars don't have rear fog lights, AUDM/UKDM cars do. BRZ is a different setup than 86, that is the standard BRZ setup worldwide.

    Hey GT86 Crew

    I've had it history checked, no crashes, only 27k on the clock. 2012 originated in Oz. Thats all I know! I'm exploring this out of interest but I'm so happy with it I'm not too worried. Just hope I can plug n play new headlights when I upgrade them.
