Any chance you could message me the details of the guy you got the shell from? Just trying to put as many of the pieces into the ownership puzzle as I can.

I look out for stuff on Japanese auctions via a website called buyee.jp. The other stuff I have brought in has been the newer AE86 corolla bits which I have got from megazip, Flos.ie and Facebook by doing a few different pages. Good luck with the build.

On the whole, pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any progress on the project? :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yeah I wondered if that was the case with buyee not accessing all of the auctions - Need to find a mate that can read Japanese. Just waiting on my mate to put the diff back together and then I can get it back on it's wheels and start figuring out the wheel size and fender flare size etc...

dabuzz Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Excluding chemical properties (I'm no chemist), you normally seam seal first before undersealing, the seam sealer gets right in the the seams, and bonds to the epoxy primer. The sealer I suspect wont bond properly to the irregular patterns in the underseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sealer I suspect wont bond properly to the irregular patterns in the underseal Yeah seems like that was the better way to have gone about it. Saying that though, before I hit it with the wire wheel, you could peel the painted over seam sealer off, and it would take the undersea beneath it off with it aswell so I think there's still an issue there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuzz Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 dis you fully sand everything underneath, including all the little annoying corners etc to key it in enough for the underseal to adhere to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Nah, but the seam sealer took the underseal off with it too - the paintshop put the underseal on after the epoxy so I can only assume they prepped that right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Looking good mate, I am getting closer and closer to putting some of mine back together also. You must be pretty stoked to be at this stage. I have the added headache of trying to mount another sway bar up as the KE20 one doesn't clear the SR sump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best decision EVER! SOOOOO much BOG! discovered already = So much dust!! Got the rear quarter and drivers door stripped and coated in keyphos. The lower section was about 6mm thick with bog, covering up a few dents and a massive hole, and surprisingly the sill wasn't rusty, just totally dented in and filled with bog. Went through 2/3 coats of paint stripper then ended up having to use strip discs as 50% of the panel and the drivers door were totally layered in bog. Two strip discs and a dead grinder later i'm wondering if I just cut straight to sandblasting..... any OS'ers in the waikato keen to come and cut out my rust and fit some new steel?? http://oldschool.co....4-ke25-corolla/ Love the spit stands you made, where are you in New Zealand, would love to try making some for a VW resto I'm doing, would you sell them... etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
