Nathan92 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 So a few weeks back I purchased my 84 ae71 4age powered corolla :). I have already started a build thread on another site but figured ill be on here much more now as I now have a rolla (previously owned 180sx). Info 84ae71 with 4age bluetop vl turbo fuel pump cool pioneer deck interior has been painted cream, looks good except the bits that are peeling exterior i suspect is in quik dry enamel or rattle canned on has really low springs in her (not cut) had rusty gaurds and boot which is what I'm currently working on Here is some photo's from my other thread so far untill I do some more work on her. general pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 So far Ive started work on boot gaurds, hopefully soon when I have removed all rust I'm aware of I can start preping her for paint, then do my surge tank setup in boot, then start neatining up the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cicca_294 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 pwoah man, that rust is like cancer! looks like a decent buy, but you might be better of getting a new shell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 aha, the rust isnt too bad. mainly the boot and gaurds, both have been cut out and welded (havnt got piks of gaurds yet as they still need finishing). The rest of the body however is is pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like a lot of work in front of you- How much did you pay for it? A good rustfree car from inland is only around a grand, I've got my eye on a couple of granny-specs being driven by elderley people around Orange... I supose you'd have to respray it somewhere along the line and that is always expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 In W.A mate, there getting harder and harder to find, not to mention more expensive. Not trying to build a show car, just spraying her in acrylic and just generall neaten it up a bit, remove rust..etc. ill be happy aslong as it looks semi clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbr11k Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 hell yea it's cleaned up nice as ! good work mate can't wait to see it re sprayed, what color are you going but? I see black in some pics, and what looks like silver in others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The silver is a metalic basecoat so then I can paint the mirrors in a metalic colour. The car will be sprayed in midnight blue, (same colour as inside doors) however I definatelly wouldnt call it blue. Closest colour id say would be midnight purple, really can't wait to paint her but I don't wana rush the body work, aiming to have the aint complete in the next coule weeks. Also I have ordered new tail lights and door rubbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 ahk so it's a triple layer pearl, can't wait to see her done !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 The mirrors will be but the car will just be primed then painted. Its just an acrylic laquer but seems alright so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan92 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Got a little bit done today. painted under the gaurds, and under fuel tank with bitumen paint, also almost finished working on my rear gaurds. Other than that I removed my door handles and locks and have began to sand to bare metal... this may take a while :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 nice work. looks like you have the skills to bring her back from the rusty mess it was in post #1. agreed don't rush it, but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
