Corolla GT-Z twin cam 16 (4A-GZE)

Hi all,

I just bought this car last week. Better pictures will follow!

The car has very nice parts and upgrades like:
- 4AGZE engine (AE101 165hp)
- Race clutch
- TRD LSD
- Short shifter kit
- Swift springs
- Tociko HTS
- T3 camberplates
- RCA`s
- Bushingkit installed
- Wiechers front strutbar
- T3 Adjustable panhard
- Alu gastank
- Sandler sport seats
- Scrotch 4way seatbelts
- Sparco steeringwheel

The body and chassis are in need of big time tlc and welding..

Plans:
In the end it will be a street drivable car witch is prepared to go for a track day. There is so much stuff to do so lets start an overview:

- Tighten belts, check timing etc. = Done
- Fix and fault finding engine idle speed (2700rpm) = Done
- Fix electric fan (turning wrong direction and not jet controlled by thermostat) = Done, not the thermostat though
- Fix bracket of alternator
- Fix heating control cable etc = Done
- Brake check
- Engine TLC (fluids and filters)
- Replace other wing

At this point I would like it to get MOT test done but first I need to get some chassis welding going. At the moment I think I will do the necessary stuff and not a full chassis rebuild at this time (future project). So I think I will start with cleaning the interior with powered steel brush to find all the rust. Find spots around and underneath the car for welding. Depending on this I will do it myself or I will hire a welder.

After welding a good preparation/conservation is a must off course, then its time for the MOT test. Next up:

- Oil cooler (Mocal?)
- FMIC and piping
- Goodridge brake lines
- Recondition Celica Supra wheels
- Recondition 15 inch wheels
- Reinstall interior
- Put original gas tank back (weld old one or buy new?) = Got one, will be installed after welding.

Oke, time for an update.

After some mechanical work I have now started the rust repair..

Engine idle speed is back to normal, vacuum hose problem. Electrical fan is turning the correct way now (it was blowing instead of sucking).

Also I was working on the heating control, one of the cable-holders is loose, is there a easy fix/tweak? What happens is that the outide cable slides in its holder, this should be holded tight.

As for the rust repair, I am not stripping the whole car. I decided to fix it as good as I can. I do realize this wil be then an on going proces until I completely do a new build up. Maybe send it Easter Europe for body overhaul??

I started on the back side of the car.
