Jesus Christ man. This is some good stuff! You wanna do my car next? Lol Man, at this point, If I never had to see an 86 ever again, I'd die a happy man. This **** sucks. Rust sucks. Canada sucks. I should put one of those "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME" disclaimers on here. Not because it's dan...

Howdy. It's sure been a while since I updated this. Can't believe it's been over two years since I started this project. Anyways, since last week or so, I finally have found time to bring the car out of it's dusty hibernation spot. Here's what I've gotten done since. https://images2.imgbox.com/27/2e...

I'm back. Up next, the passenger side wheel tub. https://images2.imgbox.com/1e/02/lDRpVK6A_o.jpg https://images2.imgbox.com/a8/e3/zYIxRg2A_o.jpg https://images2.imgbox.com/74/b5/hAJ2qhpa_o.jpg You could say I got a head start, being that the tub was already sitting on the floor by my feet. All I had...

As many of you guys know, the rear rails on these ...

The floor's just that bent up.) At last, I finally had a measurable amount to just how far bent out this thing was. Al...

I originally wasn't so sure on my plans for cutting out the entire rail, but I really don't think I had any other...

It's been a little while since I posted any updates. Shortly after my last post, I ended up getting tied up with fixing up my brother's car. If that wasn't time consuming enough, I was also constantly getting sick. Never really had a whole lot of time to focus on the corollas, but I still managed to...

I had only been working on the car for a little bit less then a year now, but I have already been stocking up some parts. The first of goodies to go on the car were a set of PBM coilovers. These were the only coilovers I could find that had the spring rate I was looking for with a true rear setup. I...

I soon ground off the excess epoxy and replaced it with the usual copper weld through primer. When it came to mounting the drivers side rocker, it all went incredibly easily. No real struggling I could elaborate on. It was the usual deal of checking alignment several times, and then welding it on. h...

I couldn't plug my rockers on however, as there was nothing left of them. It was quite tricky work to get these repaired, as I really didn't have much of a reference to what it was supposed to be like, as everything was gone. Turns out i'm a very lucky guesser, as it all seemed to go well. https://i...

Similar to the front, the floor needed a little bit of attention before i could go ahead with the flange and sill. This was my first attempt at stamping things. I had a little bit of trouble centering the punch right, but it'll look fine buried in undercoating. https://images2.imgbox.com/56/ad/fj7eK...

After sleeping on it, I thought the best way to go at this was to start at all four corners. I didn't want the center section to sag or hang down too far, so I had to properly secure it in place first. I sandblasted both sides not-very thoroughly just to get an idea of what was just surface rust, an...

Things started to get a bit more serious when it came time to do the rockers. A guy on the internet once said "you can't weld to rust", and I feel that applies here. Every time I would cut back metal, even more rust would crop up. Still, I ain't a quitter. I carried on anyway, as hopeless ...

https://images2.imgbox.com/1a/9c/86kozVPv_o.jpg The first area I focused my attention to was the A pillar and window frame. I thought that this was the worst damage structural wise on the car, and I didn't want my car to fold in on me when i decided to cut open the rockers. I'm glad my Firefly serv...

I actually had a page or two posted here on my restoration about a year back, but it ended up getting removed. Ever since then, I have gotten way farther on my project. For those who don't remember, here's a refresher. Filled with glorious 320 x 240 pics & rushed writing. The year was 2018. I wa...
