#13 Celica Update

I left my car outside with only a cover on for like 3 days, and the car started to rust. Its kinda sad to see all my hard work turn into a rust. So i quickly called a mate to help me sanding the car for primer coating. Luckily the rust only develop a thin layer, and the sanding work removes the rust straight away.

To save my budget, we pushed the car to a paint shop near my house. It looked easy, but its not. Its heavy.

So the car is already coated with primer, towed back to my house with Unser and a rope.

This is better than nothing.

But i opted for the best primer, he claims that this brand absorb into the metal, thus reducing the probability for oxidization.

Next step is to strip the interior

And the roof too

And another 2 weeks for body shop.

AK : Aizat Kancil turbo

The main purpose of this car is to bring the owner to and from work everyday in Sepang. The car's also intentionally bought to serve as a fuel saving vehicle so it can travel from point A to point B without any problems.

Until one day he started to bolt in some turbo. And together with a Kelisa 1000cc engine

But to my suprise he's still using this as a daily driver

Until the motor blew one day. He started rebuilding the motor along with a set of low compression piston, piggyback, shorter ratio Daihatsu Mira gearbox, racing clutch,some fuel settings and a whole lot of other special ingredients.

The results is a high boost mini machine. He's sticking to 0.8 bar for daily ride, and it can boost up to 1.5 bar without any problem. And that's a lot.

The TRUST intercooler is a little big for this little car. But the size and the thickness ensure a better cooling for the turbo. Although it hides no turbo lag, but it cant hide behind the front bumper. So its a no no to cut the original L2 bumper and he went with original Kancil bumper. Eventhough the whole bodykits is from L2.

Almost everything in stock condition except buckets for both side, MIRA carpet, boost meter, turbo timer and RSM.

The owner told me its time to get a new daily ride, the new settings take him from point A to point B rather violently rather than more comfortably. But it will still remain his and hope to join a drag racing soon to test the car. And the good news is, he's also restoring a VW Beetle 1303, will update on that car soon.

#12 Celica update

So this morning i woke up early to make sure the work i started on the celica finished within this day. And that is suppose to because i had to clear up my parking space.

Since i had my satria a while back, there's no more parking space for other cars. So off the satria outside and soon the celica will be send to body shop.

It started to rust away since i left the car untouched for the past couple of weeks

And i went to ACE Hardware to buy this stuffs for today

The last time i removed the tar from under the vehicle, caused a big mess. And to slap on new tar leads to more mess in my garage. It was the hardest thing to do on this project.

But its already on.

Aesthetically it looks better this way rather than just hammerite

And also painted black at the back. Guess red is too flashy.

So after 6 hard and torturing hours of grinding and removing excess paint and putty. It looks like this.

Removed 85% of all paint. Cant proceed anymore as it numbs my hands and hurts my skin with those wire brush flying away from the grnder

Smooth finish

And then it rained... after the rain it started to oxidize again. Really fast though.

After sunny and rain, and then sunny again... this time i think the rain's gonna stop. But it didnt.

So after sunny again.. this time im sure that its gonna stay that way.

So i started to grind for the second time for smooth finish

And from the dust. My 510 seems to be the victim here.

After inspect the car a few times

Discovered some small holes , the previous owner just patched up with putty

And some old weldings..

Aside from that, its all good.


Since there's no more rain and no more grinding.

Time to slap on some OSPHO (Stop rusting and prevent it from spreading)

Its better to use KURUST as it is a better rust stopper. But the price is over my budget.

Notice that the color changes when i applied the OSPHO.

some close up pics

I end up using everything till the last drop. Even the wire brush became one of the victim. Make it 5 though.

I went a little bit over with the OSPHO. As i will park the car outside. Even with the covers on, its still can oxidize.

So the body stripping is done

I hope i can send to the bodyshop within this month.

Cleared everything up and its time for new project.

And to finish this 510 too

cheers
