dont get me wrong bro.. why did you drift it in the first place if you knew that it has a positive camber and a horrible suspension setup? and maybe because of the tires that your drift gone bad?
i have driven this before.. what i felt is this car has more oversteer than understeer...
It should, but it doesn't right now. One bad drift out of 10 ain't bad anyway, was just having fun around my place. The tyres were rotated, so the semi-slick tyres are bald on the front, and the rears grip, so there you go...
No issues, it will all be sorted one day!
Here's today's progress...

keep it coming mate!!!
Brilliant!
Looks like you are doing this the right way.
Very happy that you are not doing the "lets spray some paint on top of all the hidden problems so that it looks all nice and shines in the sun but will look like fek all after a year" type respray.
Spraying a car is more than cosmetic.
Taking the time and putting in the effort here will preserve this car and makes the rest of us guys (and girls) jealous as hell.
Think an AE86 admiration society is forming to follow this thread.
Nice one Fahrer.

Yes, plenty of time for going fast (and sideways) when it is finished.
Doing the build slow and steady now is the way. If a problem turns up - fix it and then move on.
A friend of mine had his engine (mi16 engined peugeot 205) out to work on and it was only when he put it back in that he realized he had not washed the engine bay. He he. Only a little thing but drove him crazy that he hadn´t polished and waxed it up while the engine was out.
I bet you are drooling over all those original advertisements in that ´86 book?
My favorite was the red Trueno 3 door with a white coupe in the background with the headline "SEXY".
I wonder who the guy in the white suit and bow tie is? Does not look like your average drifter!
