Restoration of geometry, welding ... - Toyota Corolla Levin, 1.5 liter, 1985
Things are moving slowly but. The first hole discovered, but not because of corrosion, but from some kind of stone that was caught, the metal was dented and torn, it’s not scary))) The pedal pads suck, they didn’t seem very comfortable. And there is no platform for the left leg (((They put the car on its side as best they could, the assessment of the bottom showed that not everything is so bad. Yes, and in our city they don’t sprinkle salt and reagents, so there’s not so much rye ... They removed the protection of the exhaust system, fuel tank. The spars are in good condition, but they need to be welded. There are also places on the bottom that are touched by corrosion.
The bridge turned out to be with a stabilizer, which is certainly good. flowing...
It's time to pull the spar and restore the geometry. Then the question arose where it would be better to do it and how much it would cost us ... The long search for a good master ended in success. We have a man in the city, he has been engaged in body repair for a very long time, he does well. Luckily, he turned out to be a childhood friend of his father. In general, he agreed to help us and absolutely free of charge, provided that my brother and I would do everything with him. In general, he took us to training. It's boring to talk to one, but so you want to teach someone. In addition, in our city there are few such "sick" people eager to poke around in an old wreck ... :D In general, things are moving a little.
The TV was straightened and boiled.
They started to pull, push, straighten the body... The occupation is very exciting and, in principle, not difficult... The main thing is to know where to push, where to pull and measure, measure, measure...
Well, finally, my body is now even, the spars stand and look how and where they need to. ))) It remains only to boil them, strengthen them … but this is already on their own. Geometry cost us 5 thousand and he did not want to take the money.
We said goodbye and took the car to him ...
And with the old "Japs" it's always nice to dig. Soul things. And most importantly, if you do it right away thoroughly - they work flawlessly)
Thank you))) We are trying, there is no way back already ... We do not regret the invested forces and means at all, I really like to drip with this machine ...
A box from a rear-wheel drive Seeder (like yours) T50 with a 2T motor. The only thing you need to do is screw the bell from the A series. There is no box on hand yet, on the way somewhere ...
Collective farm arches detected) I'm still wondering how you will splice a front-wheel drive engine with a rear-wheel drive box))?
Was broken. The former owner flew off the road and hit the car on a stone. Not much, but bent spars. I found the dimensions in the manuals, but in principle they were not really needed, they just constantly measured them with a tape measure at all points until everything became symmetrical.
question. because of what it was necessary to do geometry. broken? Or maybe some other reason? By the way, where does the size information come from?
