Popular Post Krupkee Posted December 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2016 Bellett I recently purchased to replace my aw11 i sold bought unseen on trademe, bit of a risk but pretty happy with the result, runs and drives well, had a wof 2011, reg on hold bad points -Doors -Guards -3x small bits of rust to weld patches in, boot shut, top of one sill and passenger floorpan, overall not bad though -wayyy too high -paint to do -either find better doors and guards or repair current ones -strip paint to bare metal, started already -paint, will do myself, thinking gulf blue or similar at this stage, maybe black bonnet -low -interior re-trim -misc trim bits, seals etc -in future g161z from holden/isuzu gemini but current g150 will stay for a while Delivery Interior, all gauges work, some bits to remove, wheel to be re-done after removing front trim bits, started stripping paint after this ass shot worst rust to repair (apart from FL guard, and its not even a bit hole More bog than guard paint has 2-3 layers so a lot of places look way worse in photos, rear arches are mint, nothing under carpets except for small hole Inspiration colour I am thinking 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Progress from yesterday, bit slow as there is ~5 layers to strip off. didn't get around to working on it today, hopefully will get the majority of the car, including welding the rust patches done over christmas break 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Got out to the garage today for a few hours, did rear quarter and started on the back. pretty straight so far. not sanding to far back once metals showing as I only have p60 pads and don't want to thin it too much, will get the last bits of old paint off with 120 before priming no rust holes, several small dings but only minor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 got some more stripping done roof gutters had some kind of sealant put in them during its life and this was holding on the chrome strip, unfortunately couldnt get this off without damaging it so need replacements and all cleaned up back stripped, need to grind/sand back all the welds on the sills/lower body replacements rear boot shut gutters all good To do: finish stripping roof, front and rear bits find new doors, front guards. Need to find cash to buy parts car on trademe for the doors and trims etc remove interior and then strip door sills, floor new sound deadening, carpet upholstery 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 update from this weekend. progress is slow, generally a couple of hours a day finished off the roof and took the doors and guards off worst bit so far found some hidden treats in the sills, not too bad, steel patchs will just be simple angles so far! and some random pics Benchy!! back seat with no rips! just the top piece/material missing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krupkee Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 been a bit slack posting removed sound deadening, all gone now, one side just needs cleaning up, will get recent pics this weekend. Some interesting factory patch panels/panel beating too lol During after tbc cut some rust out for patchs. about 4 holes in total, this is the biggest Cleaned one up and cut a patch from my old mr2 engine bay lid. Tried to weld one of the smaller ones up. did a fair bit of practice on some offcuts. Stitch welded the piece up, cleaned the welds then went to fill in the gaps and kept getting blow-through, getting a die grinder so I can square the holes up nicely and make it easier to clean welds up. Also going to buy some fresh steel rather than use scrap from old mr2 engine bay lid. hope that helps. If anyone has tips they would be appreciated! Picked up parts car from auckland. mint doors, quite a few bagdes and trim in good nick and almost new carpet! woo. Only parts im after now are front guards, might get a panel shop to fix these ones up when I have a bit of cash. reg still live and almost rust free so tempting to use this instead but I will persevere and make this body rust free and might do the parts car up after. First time it saw rain in 20+ years.. bloody summer. Guy I got it from has a mint yellow one with red interior as well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
