Taking on the body — logbook Toyota Carib 1990
In general, Toyotas of all years have no problems with the body, regardless of age. But under a couple of conditions: the absence of serious accidents and the presence of protective shields in the cavities of the wings. After a thorough inspection, I was convinced that my Caribas did not get into serious accidents, but the situation turned out to be more complicated with the rear fenders and arches. These cars are rarely bought to drive exclusively on asphalt and only in dry weather. As a result, jammed thresholds and torn off towing eyes are a common occurrence in these cars. Through rusty holes in the rear doors and fenders is also a matter of course.
I have the same problem number of times this is the rear right arch. The fender liner is apparently not there for a very long time and in the area of ​​u200bu200bthe mudguard there is such a considerable hole looking into the trunk niche. DISORDER. Therefore, today I went and took a "first aid kit": a rust converter and an anticorrosive agent with a rubber layer. To "liquidate" a hole in a niche, ordinary building foam will go. Now it remains only to find half a day to implement the plan.
