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:
In the ground:
And here I was most worried! We paint!
First layer:
…second…:
…the third…:
Here it is in lacquer:
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...
Hmm ... ruined the whole summer! but it turned out great) the body is like new now!)
Cool))) Now the wheels are 16". if you have 5 bolts (5x100), then you can buy the original cheaper from Subaru
I want to myself 16) only finances are running out, and I want to do a lot more)
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!))
Here, these are the price tags, I took mine for two thousand, it was also not a fountain, but better than mine
I also wanted to cook at first ... but I myself don’t know how yet, but there was no one to help (((so even when my relatives were looking for thresholds, they offered me 20 tyr for each (((
