Thanx man.. that was the plan. :)
That's the final result after the stone chip protection, a layer of filler, a lil color and a thick clearcorat.. i don't give a damn about the color's shade.. that section will be covered by dust if the owner driving the car.. but the shape looks like the...
Okey long time no post..
Penguin is almost "done".. just needs a rear brake caliper renovation...Underbody painted. :)Rear suspension is back..Bent a brand new main fuel line.Fuel tank is up!
Fuel & brake lines repaired..And the last week:
I HATE the sandblasting on car bodys.. you never can take out the sand fully from the body's chambers.. remained sand got and keeps the moisture..
I think the best primer is the OE paint...The steel panels not too thin.. 0.7-0.8mm.. about the suspension connection points got some...
Using a phosphoric acid based rust remover and converter.. we don't have and i dont know ospho but i think this maybe same working concept.
But I brushed the rust through days, sometimes weeks, but the fluid can the rusted steel converted to clean steel, like on the first pic the lower left...
Long time no see.. but the chemicals working soo slowly. :)
I was runnin' to some deep shit again.. :)I have some good news.. the sidesills is mostly contains steel. :D
It was the "before" condition about half time of rust removing process:It will get some stone chip layer and some paint the underbody.. the red paint just an anticorrosive weldable primer.
I'm in a dilemma..
i have a set of sideskirts from a Talon TSi..
put back the old little Eclipse sideskirt, or paint and use the large TSi sideskirt? I can't choose yet..
Rear inner sill before......and after. okey okey i know the result is ugly ASF..
But who can weld better the 30+yrs old metals under the car over your head in a tight space at your front yard?
last some weeks update:Rusted rear licence plate console "repaired".. :)Chemicals removing all of iron-oxydes too slowly. :)
Jacking point reinforcement repair..I'll wanna weld them in asap. :)
ohh i almost forgot.. Last days of summer: Alternator is dead.
I had a spare Alt. on my spare 4G63T engine..Later I repaired&renewed the old onetwo months ago got a minor trailarm bushing repair.Now:Slowly preparing to the loathed winter season:
I dunno what color would be better on...
Last pics from my dsm in one piece. some renovating begun..Day one: rear body parts& muffler is down.. and the interior is out..
Day two: fuel tank & rear brakes down..
Day three: rear suspensio...fuuuuck..
electric impact wrench and 800newtonmeters, broken the trailing arm bolts both...
Once my clutch hydraulic was punctured all oil leaked... was a funny drive to home without clutch. :D :DWhat's going on mine? umm.. got some rust repair under the chassis.. 32 years old.. and some rust appeared on the body around the rear suspension... :/..contd.A friend brings...
Thanx guys!!My 1G now sitting in my sideyard under the roof, waiting for a little underchassis repair, but i'm these days build a Honda CRX for somebody in my home workplace, if the CRX is done, then i'll goin' under my 1G. :)
Long time no posting here...
The reason: I built a boring car. In the last half year only collecting miles, and no new problem.. only the remained anomalies.. (some idle problems, and the noisy halfshaft/suspension bushing..)
Find a rustless hood.. Nothing more.. :D :DSome new pics:
1000kilometers after the rebuild..
Only a starter, and a battery dies under the short break-in period..Almost everything else is works fine..
Some anomalies is waiting for repair (an outer CV joint, may a noise from a front trail arm busing).. but i like that lil car for daily.. :)
Wroooong.. It's a "JDM" GSR-4 version I think.. EDM N/A cars had full-yellow cornerlights and MANUAL seatbelts..Japan export Eclipses was a strange mix of EDM & USDM cars: got side turn signals on the fenders, usa spec cornerlights, and automatic seatbelts. ugly EDM mirrors and 15" wheels..
September's news:
I1m just repaired the exhaust..
Putting some testing miles on the backroads of the neighborhood..
Ohh. then:
We passed the inspection, the ride is legally driveable on the roads now..-----Took a picture included the almost all of the shitty-rotten parts what a dropped...
Last 3 weeks news...
Painted the left side.. find a facelift EDM/JDM plastic rear bumper. :)
Day by day looks better..Some before-after shots:And the rear..
