Corolla Levin Repair, Paint and Tune - WITH VIDEO

[harkes]

First i would like to express a huge fascination and respect for a person undertaking such a project - thats you apardal . I'm currently restoring my own 86 but not on such a scale!
Whats really bugling me is how you have managed to "remember" where all the little fittings and clips are placed?????

Nice - i'm just speachless

[apardal]

harkes...

do you see that?



I've tagged everything when disassembled so that I could find things easier. It is not fail proof, but it helps a lot!

Best regards

Apardal,

I still wish I had done that with the RX7. I desided not to because I needed to replace most nuts and bolts, but that was a stupid decision

[nmwisima]

Man I think, no, no... I m sure...

I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Greece won't be in my vacations list for a long time :wink:

I simple use new bolts and screws.

[apardal]

jamiemirror, that's the way to go if you have the money

apardal, new screws and bolts wont cost that much. the problem is more having an aduquate supply of the right bolts. The RX7 so far as all sorts of sizes often with alternative threadsizes... its a challenge every time..

A friend of mine had to buy new bolts and some other parts needed to mount two front fenders for his AE92 at Toyota, and the price was about 50€, I think that's expensive.

Bloody hell man, that is pretty much the exact to what i done, apart from the immaculate shell respray etc as i will be using mine for motorsport so i didnt want it perfect!

I had all of my underside components shot blasted and powder coated like you, but i didnt take as many pictures! One thing i did do is like what these lads above said, i replaced all the bolts, and with stainless steel items too, so they dont rust!

Top work mate, as ever very impressed, are you restoring it to its standard spec? Show car i take it??

Keep up the awesome work and keep the piccies updated!
