Garage Takai IPRA AE86

Ok, time to continue this, despite the broken wrist, and stupid arse being able to type.

So about September 2004 i ended up in Canberra to visit my olds for the holidays and to generally chill out for a bit. While i was there i managed to catch up with a mate of mine from when i first got into cars. One certain indigoid. While i was there he thought i should meet up with mate of his who has a race car. A week or so later im standing in Tim Button’s shed looking at his 1600 race car sitting there.

Somehow about 2 weeks later i started thinking about this strange thing called IPRA.

I put it off for a while in order to complete the car, but it was still on the back of my mind.

The junkyard called my workshop.

Had a few issues about how close the water outlet sat to the quads….

And fixed them:

Got new gauges, and a bit of black drift bling.

It was tons better than the original black that was on there

Did the battery, fuel and struts:

And then the camera broke.

More updates when my wrist stops hurting from this batch of typing.
