Thanks for all the approval!!
shcao- It took 3 of us to lift the car, the top of the passenger door frame is resting on a table... Quite stable! Also the top is tied to the side of the shed for safety.
evan- Can't believe you don't like the dash! I love the shape, but also wanted the built in battery and oil gauge!

looks like the project is coming along nicely. just a question tho, arent the crowns IRS? does this mean that you are putting IRS in teh rear end, such as the rear crossmember and all the goodies?
just asking cause i have a ms123 crown and its IRS....if you are doing this then good on ya! engineering at its best!

I'm assuming he means a live-axle diff from something like an MS112 Crown.

Yeah, but then you think about it and realise you would've never given it the same sort of love and thorough going over the car deserves!
Looks great man, you've done an awesome job. The dash in particular looks awesome, you've solved one of the biggest criticisms I had with the AE85/6, that low-rent interior.

Nice work mate, inspiring stuff. Could you share some more detail on your paint work. What did you use? How did you prep the areas? Go back to bare metal?

Diff is from a MS112 Crown. So live axle, not crazy enuf and not enough time to try IRS! This is my first car... have been waiting to drive it for over a year now!
Thanks for the comments! I got the idea for the dash from a friend of mine, who put it into an ae82.
I don't think my paintworks that good
It was my first time painting a car, if I had to do it again I would definately take more time/care.
All the sound deadening was removed first, using a chisel and a wire brush on an angle grinder.. Some parts of the interior I went all the way to bare metal - just to remove the left over tar crap from the sound deadening.
Primer I used was redoxide anti-rust zinc primer over all the stitch welds, then just Auto-One Etch Primer over everything, 2-3 coats from memory. I actually applied the etch primer from spray cans before I realised it was cheaper/easier to use an air compressor!
The silver paint you see is an enamel type - 3 coats of that using air compressor. No clear coat.
Black paint is just matt black spray can stuff!

Just curious from other peoples experiences i have just undercoated my car with a rust preventitive (cans) then some rust proof undercoat (cans) then white enamel (cans) this is only interior and engine bay. Any one see a problem with this and lastability compared to jeremys approach?? The undercoat isnt a etch primer.
