Old Junk to Sports Car

[galee]

The car owner... a very proud owner of a piece of junk (hehe that is what I always suan siao him).

It is a 1980's Toyota red top 4AG Trueno about to be converted into a drift car.

911

Look at him, so happy to get a second hand junk from Kuching (BTW, he spent 29K on that car).

[galee]

This is the picture of the so called "Junk" on the process to be a sports car.

Err, alot might ask, where the hell are we when we are going to potong out all the parts in the car.... We are at the car park of his apartment... lol

912

I hate the color of his car. Who agree with me, please second my opinion... lol
The GT wing is kinda out of place? keke

[galee]

I just love to see this car from the front. The feel of an old car that we usually see in the Initial D. I am pretty sure there is alot of initial D or Project D out there.... :cool:

913

Anyone from Kuching who had seen this car and know the previous owner?
Pass him a msg, his car has gone into the wrong hand... lol

[noruazumi]

yupp... the red color so yucky! hehe...
white color & some tofu inside the car will do the job eventho that's not the exact model in initialD. :D

I used to own a Toyota Levin back then. Bought it new. It was a screamer back then one of the "wish can have" car. 1600cc Twin Cam 120bhp AE86 engine. Needless to say I souped it up for "street use". :rasta:

[galee]

Now... step 1. Identifying which is not needed in the car. (my point of view, if can... change everything in there,lol)

914

Aduh... looks like its going to take a very long time on clearing the interior... u will get what I mean when I post the subsequent pictures... :P

Gosh... this thing is now a bomb... how much did u sell it off? :D

[noordin]

That was a long time ago. Can't remember now.

[galee]

Without wasting time posing for the camera, he dived into his beloved wife to check for opening to unmount his back seat.

Ppl, look carefully on his car... lol


915

I will tell u guyz on the condition of the car later on.... :P this will be interesting...

[galee]

;) ...... I have been standing there doing nothing for 30 mins and decided to take another picture of him...... and asked "oi lu buat apa?"

916

He replied " EHHHH~~~! bo leh.... how come bo groove to take out this F###ing chair" ;)

PS: We took 1.5 hours to figure out how to take it out.... lol

Monkey in the cage.... lol he finally settled the chair.... but still on the process of taking it out....

917

Well, look at his sleepy face, time was 0230 Tuesday nite.... forgotten that I have to work the next morning.... lol

[galee]

Itu, kereta second hand... Dia tu second owner... full car, never potong before.... but i think he is going to potong most of the car parts out .... lol

[galee]

FINALLY ONE SIDE CAME OUT~~~ At last can see his smile again... lol

918

eh, anyone can take the reflection of my flash away from this car mirror? don mind sharing the trick on how to? Thanks a million.... :)

[mobbes]

Interesting ... can't wait for the rest of the pics. Always wondered how they prepare a car for drifting ... only remember Anthony Wong & Kenny Bee talk about balancing the car in the hk movie :) Is this project still wip or finished already?

[galee]

Finally, the seats for both sides is out... tapi.....

919

Aiks apa all that junk~! OMG... tak boleh tahan liao... Gua mao work esok... haha... imagine we are suppost to clear his trunk as well....

920

TO BE CONTINUED............

haha, as u can see on these pics.... its only the first stage.... balancing, anti rollbar (these u can see in these rally car, the poles to support the skeleton), wide body modification, engine transplant (he is looking for a super charged btw), repaint work (:P he is looking at silver color ;) ) and last but not least absorber modification.....

Still a long long way to go.... hehe

[galee]

All pics taken with a 50mm F1.8D lens... sorry about the compo... the lens has got limited view angle.... :P

[vladimir]

should have use the tamron 17-50 f2.8 for more wider angle or nikkor 12-24 for interior shots. should not using 50 f1.8 as being multiply with 1.5 digital factor...result...not nice d.

Ohh now i know where Noordin got his thrills, especially with a RED one now :D

[blurblur]

Galee, according to the manga Initial-D, the car you show is AE85 not AE86. If not mistaken, AE86 comes with pop up headlight.

Nope. It is the AE86. Check here (http://www.answers.com/topic/toyota-ae86).

[kayjay]

this is interesting. more to come?

[galee]

:D its a AE86 coupe~~ with a big storage space behind... Blue top engine soon to be a 20 valve blacktop engine! :D

The popup head lamp is optional since my fren had the lamp as well but always giving him problem on the poping up of it, so therefore he change it to the normal head lamp.

Yeah more to come. Recently it has been raining, and the car after deweighting, water starts flowing into the interior of the car~ and he is sealing the top hood with silicone seal but have to wait till there is harsh sun to make sure it doesn't leak again. :D stay tuned...

[alancheong7]

The 50/1.8 can still give good pix, but need to learn how to move back and forth to fine tune composition.
Not enough light in most shots.
Close ups not necessary :cool:
