@DF, I know because my budget was 10,000 limited but the bids died at 11,500, that why I said fuck it, and I raise the bid.

@Shez, thanks!

Small update on my AE86...

I have spare time, I found nearby front upper strut brace, that condition was useable but paint is small damaged and it been cover by stickers (like sticker bomb). I arrive, then the seller points out I have minor smokes come out my hood. I see my coolant temperature was high. I said thank him. I find out radiator cap was worn out due using case coolant leaking. He said he has the un-used Greddy radiator cap, so I bought it, then he showed me strut brace, I was happy, they are real makes, not bastard Chinese copied. 50 V$ for the radiator cap, and 50 V$ for strut brace but I made a discount to 30 V$ because the condition wasn't impressed for me. The radiator cap has changed so I can go home without the problem and I did remove all the stickers and sanding it, and I have to take care of my family.

Next day (today), I took a parts strut brace so I can paint it. I'm using prep cleaning to clean strut brace before I can do the prime coat, then using few coats black paints (I am using rattle can), then I use clear coat gives the brand new look strut brace. Man, they are so clean! It was worth all morning and half afternoon job. I took all parts of strut brace into one piece, yes all nuts and bolt are brand new, so I fitted into my AE86. You ask me, "you should go to work." The boss gives me one week off, back usually time at work on Monday.

Get ready engine porn. This engine is so clean than common people leaving the engine dirty. Last, the owner was taking care of them very fine. I am happy with that project restoring strut brace, it been cleaned and fresh paint on the clean engine bay.


Oh, I order steering wheel that I been looking for it, stay tune tomorrow!

Balanced:
Strut brace - -30 V$
Greddy radiator cap - -50 V$
Paint and preps - -100 V$
Nuts and bolts - -10 V$
Total - 5,060 V$
