Hey there,

This car had a fair bit of issues.

 

Epic JDM slammed stance look that everybody loves c: well aleast people did on car curises did.

Nice rims worth more than the whole car tbh

 

 

Battery in boot diy job

 

So cops didn't like my slanced and rotary sounding car much.

 

 

Gave me this golden ticket. :***( for too low too low no tead lol c:

 

 

 

Took to pits to see if i could get an extension denied :*( but now i know whats i need done.

 

Long list c:

guess the car wasn't too low ? lol Also tint to dark my ass lol

 

 

Saw this bad boy Flat front for sale on the gumtrees so picked her up for 300 bucks OMG excellent condition apart from rust c:

 

fyi its not registered aha

Perfect leather inside perfect engine is great exhaust is great just the rust in boot and rear guards i need to fix also 1 mirror?

 

I swaped my rims and mirrors to this beast for now. I took it offroading aswell on a permit 4x4 so much fun ahaha.

Well thank goodness for the Rozzers.

What a death trap. Hope the new one works out better.

Said good bye to this little beast for 400 dollars in my pocket was fun to drive. At least i keept the rims and mirrors

 

Just some pictures of the inside of new one flat front c:

 

180km hmmm can't be legit can it?

 

 

 

Started on some of the rust work

 

Cut out and sanded back fuel filler rust

 

now the boot. gonna be bitch to fix holes

rear wheel wells and spare wheel area next.

 

 

 

Started on stero as had cables but no stero so jdm soldered new harness and stero in

more pics soon.

What a death trap. Hope the new one works out better.

 

yep- hope somebody scraps the old one or rebuilds it properly. Mind you, neither of my KE70s would pass that test... no oil leaks! But, its an old corolla!

 

You should weld some steel into those boot rust holes, the KE70s are really weak around there. At the least get a layer of fibreglass cloth on both sides of the remains of the metal.

 

Great rims, the new car could turn out to be really nice.

ah thanks mate. Yeh was planning to either bog for tempoary fix as bog just cracks later on and go over pits then weld.

 

Want to get some quad lights and chrome bumpers and cxxx grill but no clue where to get from.

Use fibreglass bog. I've done a few repairs with it and it lasts ages. If you prep it right and do it properly.

Thats just the stuff you can buy a supercheap right?

and why fiberglass filler over normal bog?

It's stronger to patch holes, then skim over the top with plastic bog to make it look good.

decicded to do a oil flush and and change and oil filter change.

Oil filter oil felt like mud yuck

Next was to remove the fan shroud as needed to be repaired as didn't mount properly

Needed to fix battery terminal as broke and as shops were closed I went to my datsun 260z project and took the worn down terminal off that.

Just changing terminal fixed alot of issues like indicators not working.

The oil and filter changed made the car come back to life runs so much better and gain bit of performance. Previous owner hadn't changed it in ages I'm guessing.

 

 

Anyone had any expirence with seafoam a 4k-c engine?

so jdm soldered new harness and stero in

 

Since when did "JDM" become a term for half-arsing something?

ʞ©$ɟ me I've been using it wrong all this time.

So I started on rust repair.

before:

After:

Another layer

repaired LF indicator as wire got pulled out of wire crimp. So i wraped it around it and bent it over and soldered and taped it.

Another rust hole fix.

Note I did clean it up before bogging.

after:

 

Stero hooked up. Matches colours of dash and other stuff. c:

When I did my fibreglass bog repair around the fuel flap I got some gaffer tape and taped the hole up from inside the boot. That gave me a recessed backing to shape it too. Then a skim of plastic bog. Then I removed Tue tape and put a thin skim of the fibreglass big over the inside. A lot stronger than just filling it with plastic bog.
