altezzaclub Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 What a death trap. Hope the new one works out better. yep- hope somebody scraps the old one or rebuilds it properly. Mind you, neither of my KE70s would pass that test... no oil leaks! But, its an old corolla! You should weld some steel into those boot rust holes, the KE70s are really weak around there. At the least get a layer of fibreglass cloth on both sides of the remains of the metal. Great rims, the new car could turn out to be really nice. Quote

Yeh was planning to either bog for tempoary fix as bog just cracks later on and go over pits then weld. Want to get some quad lights and chrome bumpers and cxxx grill but no clue where to get from.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Use fibreglass bog. I've done a few repairs with it and it lasts ages. If you prep it right and do it properly. Quote

Thats just the stuff you can buy a supercheap right? and why fiberglass filler over normal bog? Edited June 17, 2015 by funwithsmexy Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 It's stronger to patch holes, then skim over the top with plastic bog to make it look good. Quote
funwithsmexy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) decicded to do a oil flush and and change and oil filter change. Oil filter oil felt like mud yuck Next was to remove the fan shroud as needed to be repaired as didn't mount properly Needed to fix battery terminal as broke and as shops were closed I went to my datsun 260z project and took the worn down terminal off that. Just changing terminal fixed alot of issues like indicators not working. The oil and filter changed made the car come back to life runs so much better and gain bit of performance. Previous owner hadn't changed it in ages I'm guessing. Anyone had any expirence with seafoam a 4k-c engine? Edited June 18, 2015 by funwithsmexy Quote
rian Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 so jdm soldered new harness and stero in Since when did "JDM" become a term for half-arsing something? Quote

funwithsmexy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Posted June 23, 2015 So I started on rust repair. before: After: Another layer repaired LF indicator as wire got pulled out of wire crimp. So i wraped it around it and bent it over and soldered and taped it. Another rust hole fix. Note I did clean it up before bogging. after: Stero hooked up. Matches colours of dash and other stuff. c: Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 When I did my fibreglass bog repair around the fuel flap I got some gaffer tape and taped the hole up from inside the boot. That gave me a recessed backing to shape it too. Then a skim of plastic bog. Then I removed Tue tape and put a thin skim of the fibreglass big over the inside. A lot stronger than just filling it with plastic bog. Quote
