Body, Shumka and more ... - Toyota Carina E, 1.8 liter, 1997

Last week was a bad one and there was no time to post here at all.
I am correcting the situation.
So, they hung the whole bodywork, adjusted it and ground it ... It’s good that Antokh’s friend helped stuff the doors with stuffing, otherwise I myself would have been messing around much longer, and on Friday I definitely wouldn’t have left the garage ... I hung the old bumper for now, maybe it’s not good to dirty the new one - he still to be painted.

In the middle of the week I went to the car wash, and for 200 rubles, the boys-students cleaned up the carpet, removed fenders and other plastic, which had been lying in the car or in the garage for a long time and covered with a decent layer of dirt and dust. The carpet was scrubbed in 2 passes with shampoo until all the crap that had accumulated over 13 years, imagine how much had accumulated ... And by the way, after the carpet dried out, it had to be beaten and shaken decently to shake out the stuck sand ... Now it lies on balcony and collects dust)))))

On one of the weekends we went to the dacha (where to go then), where the traditional agro-fitness was replaced by a more interesting and useful activity.
I almost finished gluing the floor, the second layer was not enough just a little pancake, so the tunnel has not been completed yet, although there is work for 5 minutes, and you won’t have to remove the seats. Once again, I carefully vacuumed everything and covered everything with polyethylene, after which I put the seats in place. Here I will also throw a photo of the roof, which I finally finished off last night with beer :)

Once dealt with the floor, proceeded to remove the old signaling. I conjured with wires for 4 hours, and everything worked out :) I tinkered for a long time, because I carefully thought out the location of all blocks and sensors, did normal wire crossing, well, in general, I did everything like a human, and not like in most services that mold the shock sensor on a plastic air duct for example … Along the way, I extended the wire to the parking sensors indicator. I added the indication itself later, got up as it grew there ... Well, almost :)
Along the way, I wrapped all the dangling wires with Madeleine, Schaub did not rattle on the skin, glued all potentially squeaky places with it, cleaned the stove impeller again, installed and adjusted all the cables and traction on the stove control unit and stuck everything in the place where it originally grew.

In short cases for a week cranked a bunch of shit, and zabolbalsya specifically, but now at least the car is starting to take on the form that suits me!
Yesterday I drove into existential and ordered new front fender liner and windshield washer fan nozzles from the Camry. :)
Now painting is next in line… Damn, I kept me up all night thinking about color, but I need to decide on the paint today…
I’ll get enough coffee, and I’ll go blow the brains out of local paint pickers :)

Film 3-D Carbon ... Remained from the last machine. You take a film, a hair dryer, beer, a stock of hot words and go)))

I thought about this topic, yesterday I reviewed SUCH a number of colors that the rainbow nervously smokes on the sidelines, and came to the conclusion that red in any manifestations does not catch ...
At the end of the day, I finally found what I wanted, but along the way, a bunch of small but annoying questions popped up , like you need to take permission for repainting and other sovdepovsky dolbo ... bizm. So for now I'm working on solving this garbage.
Although if I painted it in a color close to my own, then finally I wouldn’t have to re-register anything ...

IMHO it should be painted in dark red metallic

Although I like white for its practicality (depressing), it is not a color that makes every fiber of my maniac essence jerky :)))
Patience - one of these days everything will become clear and obvious :)

And with such thoughts, I would have waved at white - Japanese after all. White Kaldino constantly take me by the soul when I meet on the streets. And for Karina, this is generally a rare color.
