AE86 COUPE LOVE

Here are some pics of clean and bad ass AE86 coupes that I found while browsing around and on Club4ag as well.
Enjoy and thanks for looking.

And heres one of my AE coupe

My coupe is currently not running. can't figure out what it is, I miss driving my coupe.

Coming Soon: Builds

Well it's now 2012 and another year for building. 2011 was not really productive for me, with only one build done, about 4 started, one about 96% done and about a dozen added to the collection, O_o  but I plan to chang that up this year, well I hope so.

My plans so far are to finish some builds that I started a while back.
96% shoulda been done already Datsun 510
AE86 N2 Levin
Toyota Corona Mark II Mild Bosozoku Style(not pictrured)
AE86 Levin Drift Coupe(not pictured)
The Dirty Rat Rod

                                     

Wish me luck and stay tuned for more, thanks for stopping by.

Rak's Tofu Runner

If you didn't know that I am an AE86 enthusiast, well now you do. going on 10 years of owning one and about 15 years of liking them. waaay before the anime series Initial D hit the commercial side of entertainment and the popularity of drifting in the US. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about me, it's about Raks Tofu runner.

It makes me happy to see someone paying attention to the details. he has detailed the chassis, engine bay, gave it the "panda" paint job and the interior resembles that of the real thing. the kit he is using is from aoshima. it's one of the best kits out there of the AE86.

Heres a reminder of where he was. 

Now heres the update as of today. weathered chassis to give it that driven, not parked look. as a bonus he has added what look to be the parking and brake lines. very nice touch. 

Here it is all in white sporting the classice Watanabe wheels.

Heres a closer look at the Wats, they are wrapped in old school Pirreli Sport tires.

Getting it ready for the "panda" paint job. which is just a 2 tone black on white. the lower portions along with the arches are painted black. 

And here it is after it's been shot with black. looks good and it a classic look for the AE.

 All pics belong to Rak.

Stay tuned for more of this one. as I said before, Rak some some great talent and it shows very well.

Thanks for stopping by.
