Willis Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah, wouldn't be much point in that hahaha. Well at least this is going somewhere. My car has remained relatively untouched for the last few weeks..And it's looking like it will stay that way for a few more...haha. We'll get it done before Matsuri but it would be nice to get some practice in before hand haha. Keen to see some more progress man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Slowly getting there, and I've got a beautiful 18 degree day to work in, so I'm getting stuck into it before it rains all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Sweet! Looking forward to seeing this done. What's the deal with the cut out in the panel under the tailights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 thanks man, umm it's sort of for a few reasons, one was it was all bent and rusted, the other was so i could get in and weld the RHS brace in properly, the RHS brace also is what my fuel cell will mount too, and i actually think it doesnt look to bad lol, it seperates the car from every other corolla so i decided i'm not going to have a rear bar to cover it.. i got a little bit done today, it's an absolute bitch trying to weld the insides of thos flares but i got a bit of them done.. i run out of welding gas AGAIN, so i got the wizzer out and sanded the dodgey paint off (which pretty much flaked off), stripped everything i could see ready for paint, rear window out, as it needed re sealing anyways, s series diff out (obviously) interior partly stripped ready for paint.. i made a massive mess of my perfectly bog free rear flares after welding the inside skin back on, so that is going to need a coat of bog as well.. like i said at the start of the build, this isnt going to win any sort of show and shine awards, and i'm starting to get sick of it not being finished, so i am going to cut a few corners... as long as the paint is shiny lol.. any dents and stickers will fix that haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbr11k Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Interior completely stripped, all sound deadener off, seam sealed all my welds, coat of the good old bog on q few of the rough bits.. forecast 4 days of heavy rain so I give her a coat of prepsol and threw it under a car cover. Can't wait to see at least a coat of primer on this thing !! Edited July 9, 2012 by dbr11k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbr11k Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Haha thanks man, I'm just sick of seeing it the way it is in a million pieces... Also where is your build thread??? I can't seem to find it.. I managed to get one picture today, but my phone went flat and I wanted to get into it Oh and this is what I'm spending my tax money on... Maybe, I have a lot if debts to pay but this just seems so much more worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
