DK AE86 renovation and turbo project - Now driveable

[banpei]

That's some aweful rust. The more pics I see from all the rust, the more I think I was lucky enough with my car.

Whatever happened to your windshield?

[Veiss]

Yes rust is the devils work But it looks worse than it is, or at least i hope The winther here in scandinavia realy is a killer for the cars... Thatøs why my hatchi is newer going to see a winther on the road again.

As for the windshield I removed it, because the bottom corners of the "windowframe" was rusted away, so the windshield was cracked.

Sounds awefully familiar

It's a bad spot most hachis will suffer from. Too bad it's a spot that is difficult to reach.

[Veiss]

Yes that is a realy nasty spot.
If you take look at Jan Pedersens project: http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic.php?t=631...c&start=25
my red hatchi looked precisely the same around the windowframe.
And as if the rust repairing job isn't enough, the price on a new windshield and installation is around 420 euro here in Denmark, so that's definately not funny...

Hello fellow AE86 owners

Just thought I would bring you an update on the project.

I have ripped the car totally for windows, bumpers, etc.. So now it's time for rebuilding. I have a couple of pics for youse guys. As i feared, the rust infection is pretty bad...

I have a weeks hollyday, and my plan is to get most of the rust repaired. But I'll keep you guys updated.

My Weekend:

Hello, I just thought I would show you a couple of pics of my progress last week.

I basicly removed everything from the car. Let the restoration begin

I began repairing the surface-rust, I realy hope to get it ready for painting this month... But mmmm let's see what the time brings.

Owh man, makes me want to rip my car appart

some day I will have a thread that starts like that

[Veiss]

Yeah, it REALY feels great! Once I got going I just couldn't stop hehe

[Jan Pedersen]

I guess it feels even better putting it back together... I surely hope so - I was kind of sad when I took it apart
