I am going to replace the whole skin.

Redid the rear fender today. Managed to get it right this time




I even had time to start on some other rust areas


cleaned, treated with acid, painted and welded


Had some plates welded in as well but I forgot to take some pics. Will do this soon

[cannabolic]

time for update
sorry for the crappy pics, but my phone has trouble focusing in this darker spring time






Left the rear section for a time to deal with typical hachi issues.



cut the sick bits out




Will do a Tsuchiya san style reinforcement on the other side

[Apolan]

still going strong there cana! this will surely turn out amazing. how far along are you with the bodywork?

[cannabolic]

hopefully it will

Well I have the other side of the front strut tower left, spot weld the engine bay, swap roof skin, tap a hole in one of the roof pillars, front fenders (probably going to keep them old school steel widened), some kind of half cage. I am also thinking of equal length 4 link, but I'll think I'll leave that for later.
...and of course the shitty work, making the visual body panels straight.

[Apolan]

wow thats still some work to be done, respect for the dedication. just keep attack!

[cannabolic]

Another step by step update...

Spot welded one side


Phosphorized

Keiichi style

Primered


...and in

The other side had the same bad spots





Was thinking of doing Keiichi style plate between the firewall and main subframe, but I'm still giving it a thought.

[Apolan]

Does it come at the side or at the top?

[cannabolic]

on the side.

I've already made one plate, but still thinking. 'cause I could just spot weld there...

[dAYTONA]

Do the plates, don't just spot weld.

you said that most hachis have lot of rust, but what about e7 rollas?? i saw that they are not so rusted as hachis. i was going to buy a 4 door sedan e7, but i have a finacial crisis, and i dont see it now on allegro.pl.

I have 6. All cars in Poland are generally stuffed from winter/salt. So there is no difference between an AE86 or a xE7x. If some one bought a CE70 corolla, and had it rust protected back in 83 or something, and kept it in their garage all week, and only drove it to church on sundays (like many old Poles do) then you would be able to get one in perfect conditionl. I have one that was garaged for many years, which has very little rust, it would have to be one of the best I have seen.
