After talking with clapped out the other day and what he mentioned, i was like yep...those straps on the shelf in shed gonna save me from getting hurt again.... All jap day,well now might just have to con the daughter into attending....give her something different to do....lol...she can drop into strathpine from springwood and pick me up......maybe... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza40 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ok 2 days into time off from work,well it starts monday 14th jan....lol. The pace still good n steady....Today see`s right rear 1/4 and sill panel painted - neutral safety switch wired in and working correctly (thankyou altezzaclub and medicine_man) along with reverse lights and light for gear selector wired up. Bonnet turns out to be not so good,highs n lows in many places,will make do for now and most bad shit should be hidden in the custom painted stripe/flame desgin I'm going to do,got very humid in Brisvegas it seems this arvo. Was painting the bonnet and it moisture bloomed as can see in pic, oh well sort that out later... Enjoy the pics Teza40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza40 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 ARRRRGGGHHHHH! :) The fun n problems begin....bolted tailgate up this morning...to find my thought n fear of hinges being rooted was true,yep bent and along with another issue at the tension bar wont close..just buckle under force... So a call is out in the wanted section for a pair of hinges ke36-38 wagon/van oh well off to do other stuff.. Cheers Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza40 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The tailgate hinges may be rooted.......But the ARSE is looking COOL :) Couldnt help myself,such a shit start to the day and a few other irratating problems along the way.So with crapped out hinges i let loose the tension bars and sat the tailgate in for the pics. Looking better than i had thought it would with the chrome bar and tail lights fitted, front apron is fitted - new brake pedal pad ( yeah ok its got toyoglide on it) for roadworthy and the go pedal repainted gloss black. Clark rubber for new side window seals, bought what i thought was close enough tho i see issue`s happening with it.Have tight corners and with it being length off roll and not shape formed like factory...its going to pucker ( might try warm up with hair dryer to make more pliable).. waiting on my daughter to be here before i try again to fit glass/rubber in... Need another pair of hands that`s for sure... Enjoy the pics Teza40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 That is letting off some nice colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teza40 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah baby........after much..very much tedious pain in the ass effort. The side windows are back in with new rubber seals...NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!..tho it did save probably $300 doing it myself with assistance from Emma. The old rope method just wasnt going too work,and the exisiting window openings had to be made larger to accomodate the new rubber seal with a thicker centre between metal/glass. Emma has got stuck in to it and found all the little bits n pieces and given them a clean up and a painting tailshaft-wipper arms-plastic interior bits,she fitted the washer squirters and plennum inspection plates along with the interior window protection strips on left side.Good effort for a young lass who never worked on cars before :). Might try and fix tailgate hinges if i have time,tho corolla Andy has a set on hold for me i hope,just tight on the budget dollars at moment now.. IF and undeline IF...all goes well this thing should head for safety certificate on 25-1-2013 Enjoy the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
