body restoration! — Toyota Carina ED, 2.0 liter, 1991

As I mentioned, the car rotted in the garage for 3 years, so the floor of the body had to be redone in plastic! There is no photo, but take my word for it, everything was very deplorable! Wings, sills and doors up to the molding were glued with 3-5 layers of fiberglass (depending on the place), puttied and this is what happened:

The whole thing dragged on until late autumn … then the conversion of the garage into a spray booth with its further heating. And here everything is already brought to zero and ready for painting:

Plastic, of course, was painted separately, and here, in fact, is the result of the work done:

Compared to what it was - like heaven and earth! So happy to the ears)

PS Thanks to Sergei for painting!

We mumble further...

You're not frozen! well done! I myself went through the same thing, it's not completely true yet.
Only he did it without plastic, digested the thresholds, changed the front fenders, painted the truth himself.

I didn’t have the opportunity with welding (I had to do this ... they
also painted in garage conditions in winter)

I’ve been fiddling all summer (I’ve been painting already in the cold (now it’s finally beautiful)) if there are only 2 layers of metal on the doors, then I have it about 8-9mm thick and plastic, which means it won’t rot!))

Yes, this is a topic, I digested my thresholds, I had to buy one threshold completely, but they say after welding in two years they bloom again
