Body repair. - Toyota Camry, 2.0L, 1987
Greetings to everyone who looked here! In my opinion, the most important part of the car, because they are greeted by their clothes ... So the car in our time for many has become not just a means of transportation, and first of all gives an idea of ​​its owner (this applies to tuned cars). In general, this is the primary detail that many pay attention to, only then to everything else. Initially, I wanted to make a wolf in sheep's clothing, that is, 3S-GTE inside, but the fighting heart in the near future will remain only a dream. And I want to highlight such an old and inconspicuous car from the stream, so it was decided to make a body kit (I will not call it aerodynamic, since I do not have my own wind tunnel for me to design there), but I’m not trying for that either.
So it was decided to start with the bodywork first, because I was half beaten by hail, and everyone, absolutely everyone was kidding and saying that you girls in high heels were dancing in a car! At noon it is hardly noticeable, and in the evening, when the sun is at sunset, it’s oh, as you can see. I agree, maybe someone is dumb on such a ride, for them, in principle, there are minibuses that can take you to any part of the city. But how good it is when in cold, windy or rainy weather you go out, sit in your hail-beaten rattletrap, even rotten, it doesn’t matter, you turn on the music and the stove, and go to work, past the stops at which people are waiting for overcrowded minibuses, because morning rush hour. And you look at people who look at you and you can see in their eyes what they think, if only such a battered rattletrap. I even feel sorry for a ride, In principle, when I worked myself, I never went, gave a lift to neighbors, acquaintances, who got along, and everyone said as one how comfortable it was in your cabin, softly, warmly. Okay, something brought me in ... I mean, the main thing is not the shell, but the content. So we sort of figured out the content and it's time to work on the wrapper. Although I do not like the increased attention of people, because there will immediately be both envious people and those who do not like something about styling, but first of all I want to make a car that is beautiful in my understanding, in order to admire and love it, almost like a beloved girl. And you know I'm starting to fall in love with her, all the same, how much we have in common with her! Therefore, I am anxious about this matter. the main thing is not the shell, but the content. So we sort of figured out the content and it's time to work on the wrapper. Although I do not like the increased attention of people, because there will immediately be both envious people and those who do not like something about styling, but first of all I want to make a car that is beautiful in my understanding, in order to admire and love it, almost like a beloved girl.

This record will be updated as this is not yet a completed stage.
He began to dismantle the car back in July, and until now, due to financial difficulties, the business is progressing slowly. The main work is planned for the spring. Just a few photos that I have at the moment:
In this form, I drove for less than a month until she began to be cabled
This is how she was in July:
The sliding hatch has migrated from the Astra F:
I had to try pretty hard to bend the piece of iron like this:
Muzzle:
Fitting:
And this is a picture under the removed rear rear bumper:
a piece of the hind wing that has rotted out
By the way, the filling pipe was also very susceptible to corrosion, and when I removed and cleaned the tank I decided to clean it up and paint it with ordinary enamel, that was almost a year ago, right now it is still like new:
I want to say that the car has already been cooked with patches on semi-rotten metal, and now only patches are left of this metal. I cut everything rotten to good metal and, you can say, I made some body elements from scratch:
To be continued, , ,
Mileage: 300,000 km
You're right, after work it feels like a high, after 12 hours of smelling paint!
How can I help you? You have to go to Rostov!
You just went high after the paint! And you say the aura ... You better help me with the modules of light, all the same you are not doing yours yet.
And you did not fall to the office, I was not adequate! I feel sorry for them on my own, I have such a calming aura in the cabin! =)
If you hadn’t said anyone and would not have known that your belly, you won’t even call it a belly)
Aha, he felt sorry for passers-by in rainy weather! Do you remember those people at the bus stop and that girl in the Ford, whom you made to drink water from a puddle in my car ...
PS
Kill why did you put my picture in this form? If only he sketched my belly!
This is the latest fashion!) In fact, Max was not good at doing. Remember how we made a taxi out of it!
This is not foam) There it is brewed and smeared with a sealant, to seal the seams, although it was possible not to smear it, I will still cover the bottom with a thick layer of chocolate!
Foam foamed holes in vain - all nafik will fly off with time. if it is foam in the photo ...
When I took her, she did not seem to be rotten at all, only the rear arches were slightly rotten. Look at the photo that I had on the screensaver, unless you say it's rotten! And the bottom is perfect. But when he began to tear off the factory bitumen from the floor from a small hole, he cracked the hole! There it is not visible from below because of anticorrosive, from above too. Here between them condensation accumulated and rotted there, because he had nowhere to go. I also wanted not to break the floor!
I looked at these holes) And I realized that I was still lucky) I don't have such a leaky body, but more rust is also behind)
As I understand it, you decided to get rid of half of the taillights! )))
Yes, it will look much nicer, and hang the number on the bumper.
I already drew such a sketch on paper).
If you find round feet back, it will look like an Evolved Lancer or a slightly old Honda).
