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.

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?

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.
