Second Birthday! — Toyota Hilux Surf, 2.4 liter, 1991
It is customary for people who survived after serious accidents, illnesses, that is, who were "a hair's breadth from death", to celebrate their third birthday! Since Zvergorynych has been in such a situation, today we celebrate his BIRTHDAY! Now Zvergorynych (he grew up from Zverik into Zvergorynych after the fire) has 1 year of his second life!
I don’t feel like remembering March 20, when it burned down. It’s also hard to remember the way to restore it. But remembering the first engine start and the first exit from the garage is very nice!
Many can say that restoring a car is not so difficult, I can agree with this, but my husband never completely sorted out cars, we don’t have a garage, we didn’t manage to allocate much money for repairs either, well, repairs were only on weekends after work ... There are several 35 months were wheels, hood, fenders, winch, seats, optics and the rest of the little things … because the garage was high, but Pts narrow and there was no place.
Our friends have been a great support, for which we are very grateful!
I wanted to talk about feelings and emotions during recovery, but I decided that it was not necessary, because those who have not experienced this will not understand, and those who have experienced it know what it all is.
A year has already passed since the restoration and 1.8 since the fire, and at night my husband and I still jump out of bed and run to the window, if we hear an alarm (and not only our own), I can smell fire engines passing by (I also run to the window). Passing by the Beast, we always greet him (the habit remained from the garage. They often worked one by one, then I was my husband, and in complete silence next to the dead car it was difficult, so we talked to him and promised that he would live :))
well, a video about restoration http://rutube.ru/tracks/2670234.html?v=8d89e4d5f2097066d216def09bc5e92b
We did it and this is the most important thing! We proved to ourselves that Zver Gorynych is the best! He is not a machine, he is a member of the family, his soul lives in our souls!
We love him and he deserves it!
Thanks!
we’ll brush off the snow today, we can go to the convergence by a congress :)
Yes, I read on the forum about the ways of recovery and the first start of the engine)
well done for not abandoning a friend, but giving him a new life! Happy birthday.
Yesterday I saw him in the snow))
Yulkin, I do not argue. The most important thing is that you needed it :-)! And when necessary, all other questions go away. And that's great! :-)
maybe so, apparently, we needed it.
And when they started to restore, we had to firmly tell us that it was time to sell ... because we couldn’t decide on this ourselves. And now we don’t regret what we did at all :)
Well done! Congratulations!
This is a feat. Ineffectual, invisible to many, but real.
If both are passionate about the same thing, everything is easier to bear and decide.
Congratulations!
Yes, the project pulled a lot of money financially, but this is for your favorite car. Well done!
ps/ The cake is gorgeous. Thanks for the recipe!

Congratulations Gorynych! I also greet my surfiks. Thought it was one. It turns out there are still the same "sick" :)))) Yes, you are strong to go through such a path. I probably didn't make it. I would just take it, retake it. I would take out a loan and buy a second car.
Yul be kind throw off the recipe for this wonderful cake)))
O_o this is a disease) I always greet "Scarf" in the morning!

avy… and you… and you are just great! not everyone can do this!
Gratz to you and your beast-and-mouth disease! ☺☺☺
Thanks!
many have already lost the habit of roadside assistance, so they are so surprised at the offers!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Happy birthday brother! )))))
Right now I'll distribute all the gifts)))
Restoring a car is a long, costly, but extremely grateful thing!
Not so long ago, on the track, the floor of the car helped the peasant shake it up, he went nuts when I drove up in a clean Ford, in trousers and a shirt under a dirty surf climbed)))
Congratulations to you and your Beast Gorynych! You gave him a second life. I am sure that he will please you for a long time to come. Good luck to you!

right jeeper!
and your work is good!
By the way, I can't rate you for some reason (
Your own business is good, but, unfortunately, hands rarely reach your car, because no one pays for it, and even vice versa (
As for the cold garage - it happened too) My father began to quietly engage in body repair a very long time ago, he will do it there - he will play tricks here, now sometimes he even makes noise with it. Recently (about 4-5 years ago) I grew up radically, wiped milk under my nose and came to his aid, after that we began to receive professional tools, a good environment in the garage, wall cabinets, machine tools and so on.
By the way, about the Jeeps: Once I asked a friend of mine (he drives a Cherk, or rather he drove, recently sold and bought another mobile, a serious man, under the age of forty), if his smudges on the right wing and the trunk are not in the shade of the color of the car , to which he answered me: "Bullshit! This does not affect the speed and patency ..." :)
we don’t worry about the traffic police :) they love us ... especially often they like to ask: how it goes, how to make it, how to choose, etc.
Well, you don’t have to paint metallic for a week in a hot and cold garage? :) so the “green garden†is the most suitable for Zver Gorynych :)
the only thing that touches me are the jumpers, who start poking at scratches from twigs or looking at smudges of paint under a layer of mud ...
As for the combat vehicle, I thought, although which is more reliable: Several layers of ordinary paint or several layers of metallic paint + varnish is a moot point.
Don't worry about the traffic police: When we bought our car, it was "multi-colored" - the doors were one shade of red, the trunk was closer to carrot, we decided to paint it completely - at least in those. passport and it says "red" we painted "red metallic", more precisely the color "100 Triumph" (VAZ color), and for 6 years of driving there were no problems. + In addition, the color "triumph" is not particularly visible in the metallic grain, in cloudy weather, on a dirty car, at night it seems that this is an ordinary red. But in the sun he plays "diamonds".
in the title it was written "green", although it seems that its native color is green metallic ... well, the traffic police are mysterious people ...
there are difficulties with painting in metallic ... and we painted in a cold cramped garage, for the first time holding a new compressor in our hands. Yes, and time was running out.
but in general, while still deciding how to paint, we came to the conclusion that we don’t need metallic, because the machine is combat…
