Today was the first chance i have had to turn a spanner on the car since buying it, and i had to pull the stock suspension out to return it, and popped the Teins in

Of course found that the other rear LCA also had a spinning captive nut and a cross threaded bolt:

Whoever had put the old coilovers in had rattle gunned in some M12x1.75 coarse thread bolts, that were the wrong length to boot. They really didnt like life. Had to pull the entire LCA out with the strut in it, and eventually get the MIG onto the nut to hold it in place while the uggadugga pulled the bolt out.
Now to go get another LCA and put that in too.
Still, i had to get it back down on its wheels, so i popped in some spare M10 bolts to hold it off the ground, and it looks like this lowered:

Parts for it are slowly trickling in, and by the time that the AE86 goes in early April there should be enough to get some movement on the car done.
