Sealed the sunroof to avoid future leaks and the weight reduction by taking off the sunroof assembly is a nice bonus

I was prepared for the worst judging from the body filler this car had. It took 7 gallons of paint stripper to peel off all that filler.

Surprisingly, rust was acceptable. Nothing serious really. The usual areas, edges of the running board, wheel arches etc...

A lot of previous rust repairs were wrong so they had to be repeated.

Unfortunately, the AE86 was never officially imported into the Philippines so body panels are rare over here. Shipping a big panel such as the fender would cost tons plus take forever so the front fender had to be repaired locally. This was the most major rust repair on the car
