SVOEric's 86 1C

[SVOeric]

hummmm... just realized there is no project thread for this car!

anyway...

86 1C, I bought 'in a basket' in 2005, decent shape...


Needed an engine, and transmission, front and rear bumper covers, and the rear-end was leaking, but had a few cool suspension go-fast goodies on it.

[SVOeric]

so I found a funky looking rear-end and installed it.

course while I was there, the original gas tank was nothnig but rust... so I added this

and since I had no radiator... one of these..

and since the engine I got with the car was nothing but a empty block...
I worked this out...

After a few days of work, and a little help from Rob Wagner, we managed to get this far.... (altho the engine would have to come back out later, thanks the that D&D k-member, which requires a custom oil-pan)

[SVOeric]

It's got an engine now, so I guess It needs something to turn the wheels with....


and this reunion weekend, thanks to some help from some really good friends.. it now looks like this.

....but still a no show....WTF!!!! Lookin real nice!!

BTW, what radiator and what fuel tank???

[SVOeric]

It wasn't at the show because no license, no fan, no lights, and no time to load it on a trailer to bring it to the show
Fuel tank is just a stock replacement from Advance auto I believe.
Radiator is a aluminum AFCO, that I don't really recommend. it don't fit great. the filler neck misses the hood by millimeters.
Rob Wagner has one in that fits a little better. If you are looking for one, you might check that one out.
