Another white one then! Sweet!

You will have to upload a picture into your album, you do this by going to the top of this page and clicking on 'My Controls', once you have clicked onto that it will come up with a new page, and on the left hand side of that page it will say, 'Your Album' click on that and then when the page comes up click on upload image wich is on the right hand side! Then find the picture you want to upload off your computer and there you have it let it load up!
Once the piccy is on your album you can right click the photo and click on properties, copy the URL address and paste it in the post of your choice! Hope this helps and works!

hehe! I usually call that blitz'ing or ramping, but there you have it! Im gonna start using that, so that know one knows what im on about! lol

Oh go on.... i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours! haha!

Why don't Trueno and Coupe Chick get a room?!

If only! haha!

Long time no hear Joe?? Where you been hiding, or have you been too busy! Ive got a little question actually, can you get back issues of Banzai, because i missed the last issue, and ive been watching your rebuild/modifing of your '86 closely! And i missed the issue when you fitted an exhaust system!

Cheers, Rob!

YOU HIJACKERS lol

Hi Trueno (and Coupe Chick),
Yeah, sorry about seeming a bit distant. The lead-up to Christmas was absolutely mental – deadlines compressed, calendar to compile, girlfriend to keep happy, Corolla project to keep bubbling away. You get the idea...
Anyways, after a short break I'm back, raring to go again.
Yes, it's easy to get back issues of the mag. All you need to do is call up our circulation department on 01732 748084. The issue with the exhaust and manifold feature was the December 2004 issue, though you may want to also buy the latest issue as it's got an AE86 on the cover and has the free calendar (another AE86 in that too).
As for further bits and pieces on my Corolla, currently I'm waiting for a carbon bonnet to arrive, and am thinking about getting a few bits of the bodywork touched up. The lacquer on the rear bumper is a bit flakey, and there is a patch of overspray from bad masking up on the nearside front wing. So I might get these sorted when the bonnet is colour-coded.

In other words, quite busy then! lol!

Awesome i will have to order the back issue, cheers matey!

Ive already got the latest mag absolutly love it!! I havnt missed an issue of Banzai for over a year, but somehow i couldnt find the last one in the shops! I should subscribe really!

Your '86 is coming along very nicely, cant wait to see it all finished!

Whats your plans to do with it when your finished! Everything and anything???????

Cheers

Rob

BOYS BOYS BOYS - hijackin my topic lol

Yea i saw Banzai mag with the coupe on the cover didnt realise there was a calendar as well must go make a purchase he he keep up the good work

Coupe Chick: 86Jay's turbo'd AE86 is also in the calendar. So now there's no excuse not to go out and grab a copy!
Trueno: As for future plans for my AE86, I've currently got a carbon fibre bonnet on order, though I'm not sure whether to leave it lacquered or get it painted silver to match the original colour. I'm trying to go for a modified/restored classic look, so raw carbon (though it should coordinate with the graphite two-tone) may look too obvious. Also not sure whether to organise a full respray. The body has a couple of minor imperfections I'd like to remedy, though I've been told by a few others that the 'patina of age' quite suits it. Whaddya reckon?

Tricky one that!, i think i would leave the bonnet un painted! Other wise i wouldnt see the point in having a carbon bonnet, because they are as light as fibre glass and kevlar, but kevlar etc has to be painted to look good, unlike carbon looks awesome as it is! If you see what im getting at!
But i definatly wouldnt get a full respray! I would have a few parts tidied up but i think if a car is too shiney and too good looking its a shame to ramp the crap out of it and looks more like a show car than a drivers car!
Im going for a tidy but very useable state!

This looks awesome but you know that its never driven like a AE86 should be!
