Lip installation and little things - Toyota Caldina, 2.0 L, 1997
Good day friends.
I haven't written anything for a long time. But honest pioneer came every day =). And actually, there was nothing to write about especially until today.
It actually began with the fact that my beloved and only wife decided to give me a present for my upcoming birthday. I decided and presented such a wonderful, neither large nor small, but very necessary set of Force tools. For lately I constantly told her that my undertools got me and that I was like a normal man, how I would get a wage, I would go and buy myself a normal set. Did not have time. But it's even nicer this way. Actually, nothing special, 94 items, everything you need, nothing superfluous:
In general, I was satisfied, but I immediately decided to test it in conditions of minor repairs, namely, finally, put my lip on the front bumper, otherwise it
will fade at my father's work =) I came to my father and we started shamelessly making holes in the bottom of the bumper, since from below it was attached to standard bolts with nuts, and in order not to leave openings between the bumper and the lip, we decided to use the 3M silicone double tape I already loved. By the way, I want to note that although this tape is narrow, it holds very well, you can remove the horseradish later. But the price per meter is 160 rubles.
Somehow everything turned out strangely with the front lip, for some reason it turned out to be longer (on each side), although it seemed to be stock. You can see my tired front bumper is completely deformed. (I can't see him already = (for myself I firmly decided that as soon as a normal version of a non-stock bumper turns up, I will change it, but for now we will go like this.) I want to immediately answer the question that will surely ripen for you =) There where is the wheel arch, there is no gap between the lip and the bumper. Those. it was big enough there (again, xs why), but we cut out the rubber gaskets and put them from the end between the lip and the bumper.
Most honestly, I don't like it, but so far, even xs what to do with it. The option of trimming the lip in the middle (in order to shorten it) does not channel, since in the middle there is a fastener connecting the 2 halves of the lip, and it is bent along the edges of the bumper, then it will not sit down just fine.
In general, it looks like this from the front:
Well, the rest of the photos, in fact, here (favorite bridge):
Now the whole set of pads and sills assembled =)
Thank you all!
Comments containing criticism, advice and just good words are welcome =)
Congratulations. A couple of times he worked as a worker. There are so many pleasant memories that I want to buy the same one. Can you tell me the exact mock?
Hell, I'm already worn out like a bum. I’ll ask my neighbor at work. They already started to look askance at me =)
yy, I have the same problem with the tool, about 3 months ago I put aside money for them so until now and have not bought ... also force wanted
But somehow it turns out that the most necessary things =) it is the beloved who gives it =) last year it was an Alpine CDE-9852 radio tape recorder instead of the dead regular Matsushita
My wife is just clever, but the set is good, I just recently tested it when I unscrewed the downpipe;) I would have spent a very long time with my set, but here everything unscrewed very quickly with a long lever
Yes, yes, I agree. Nothing, soon there will be a holiday on our street. I think that some kind of Yap has already heard me and wants to sell me a normal bumper with pleasure =) I will go sometimes. = D
I would honestly say with the same key I would kick in the balls = D how did you manage to break it?
but I don't need it in the car, I need to go to the garage =),
as the saying goes, you don't need to eat the mind, I broke a lot of my old keys, the last one was a sovetsky dynomometer
We have a lot of everyone, and huge suitcases and small, in short, no problem, there would be money. It's just that, logically, carrying a large suitcase in the car is not ice. Although I will not carry this one in the car all the time =)
good lightweight obvesik! well done and the keys are the right thing, my boss has an awesome set, like you only have more of all the necessary things, I can't find one, you also need to buy it, otherwise I got tired of carrying it from my father
If I cut it in the center, it will not shrink at the edges. If the butt is cut, then it will look flawed in the arch.
zs Varnish at home. One of these days I will take him to work and agree on what and how.
I would cut my lip in the center. And if you don't want the center, then in the arches!
And so, in principle, good. Another would be to drop the car a few centimes.
PS: took the varnish? And where is the beer?

this is an idea by the way, to paint the moldings.
This is how it will look like: s47.radikal.ru/i118/1006/70/36478f527f38.jpg
I think not worth it! )

And this ... if the moldings are black in the body color?
And so on the topic: well done wife, beautiful Kaldina, make a lip))
life is beautiful =)))))
I use Forse every day, a couple of heads broke in 1.5 years) the ratchet is still weak + it has a large step (in short, the tool is of high quality
ahhh, I managed everything out of the frame and how it is attached and why it is not necessary to bend the number =)
Look in the pictures of the car!)
There are bolted plastic spacers to take out the frame!
I also have a place for a square number - the frame was set and it looks fine!)))) And you don't need to bend it!
Thanks.
under what number? under the back? and what kind of frame is there, there the number does not fit, because instead of a square one they gave me a rectangular one, and in order to change it, I need to submit it for re-registration, which of course I am not going to do. I had to bend the number and screw it on. frame if so bend, it will break nafig.
My wife is just fine, I also think than to give some garbage, it's better to ask or just listen carefully about what your half is dreaming of!)
The body kit is good! Neat and not intrusive! Congratulations!)
And another question! Do you want to buy a frame for the number? And it somehow does not look!)
that's for sure. it's up to the front bumper. he is in a very bad shape. I do not want to restore, in search of something else ...
Thank you, of course, I also have the rubber bands that Andrey has. The reason for the gaps is different. As they wrote here at the mench, the bumper from the corona is a little shorter in the fenders. This is actually the problem.
I took everything from Japan through auctions.
At the expense of lips, (may not be relevant). There should be a special sealing gum between the lip and the bumper, but if you put it, then there will be no gaps on the side of the arch.

There, in general, everything is visible in the pictures, and there is a number of this gum)
P.S. Where did you get the lip / sills / rear skirt? I also want)
