It’s kind of hard to tell from that angle and fov but the rake of the steering column seems to be off. I think the top of the rim is going to be a bit obstructive.

It is a little. I'm trying to find the top-most adjustment position.

Yeah, the numeric measurement is to the tire bead surface, any lip beyond that doesn't count (typically 12-15mm)

I think I can leave this here for now. Back to the car itself.

Quite large moving of the door and pillar parts and some remodeling of those and the frame's front door area. Really starting to line up though, so it's worth it. I know I can't get it perfect, but "almost" is more than enough.

At least for now stuff has to make logically sense and I don't want to stretch proportions much more than some mm if possible.

Not bad, things are starting to take shape, 13 inch pizza cutter wheels are looking pretty on point

steering wheel looks a bit off tho, assuming it's meant to be the stock AE86 wheel

Kyuubeey · Jun 16, 2020

Yeah, those are the 13's.

The wheel is something I cooked up in literally perhaps a minute or two because it was too disorienting without it. Soon I'll probably start detailing the dash more, so I'll just start again on the wheel and make it more proportional.

Before that, I need to model in the shifter, handbrake and paneling around it. Everything has to fit into place dimensionally before I detail anything, otherwise it'll bite me in the ass later.

Not making a ton of sense right now, but at least it's getting there. I know the carpet, sound deadening and everything has to fit under the panels, so there's no way it's mounted very low. Would be nice to see a pic showing the height difference from frame to panel cutout for the shifter.

Well, would you look at that.

Now we're onto something. This must be the 3rd time today I say I'm not gonna work on the car anymore and I'll take a break.

I don't know if you still have the time and motivation to finish the car, but it would be great if you do

AC lacks a good AE86.

Truth be told, I have more important stuff to work on right now, but regardless, the GT Sport model has been ripped and is obviously far superior.

I *might* continue this one in the future just to do it, but I'm definitely putting my physics on any of the good GTS converts that'll come out later, so we will have a good 86 eventually regardless.
