QUOTE (b1gr3d @ Jan 22, 2010 - 12:00 PM) QUOTE (captb @ Jan 21, 2010 - 6:08 PM) thanks for all the advice b1gr3d. as far as bodykits i kinda abandoned the idea and just using oem parts. I got a tom's lip but its cut into 2 pieces but for $100 shipped i couldnt refuse. do you have any recommendations for a good 2 part bonder? and when i install the new window what is a good sealant to use or are they generally all the same? oh, and that reminds me. i actually got replacement doors off a vert but when i was installing it the driver side door was bent a little. so i pounded it and its ready for bondo but i didnt realize while pounding it i broke the seal between the inner and outer part of the door. it looks as if the outer metal is bent inward and the inner metal sits inside it. because of the difficulty of reforming the metal, is it really that important that the inner metal is sandwiched between the parts of the outer door or is alright if I just have them touching and use the seam sealer to bond them. I can get pictures to clarify if needed. and when patching holes and what not i figured id cut a few corners and go with fiberglass rather then welding on new pieces. but honestly i think i might abandon this project all together and get a '98-99 celica to work on. reasons? well im getting tired of looking for quality parts for a coupe and the price of facelifted bumper, side skirts, and paint would cost about the same as trading in my car. So Hawaii guys, let me know if you see anything?  3m fusor- i have used it om bedside and roof skins. GM uses something similar on some panels from the factory and they even used something similar on "musclecar" on spike tv for an old mustang roof skin. i think it runs $50 a tube but its well worth it and you won't use much. OR you could sell it to me... As far as the doors go - if there is a gap you need to hammer and dolly the skin as close to the inner door as possible then seam seal it. the seam seal it just acts a a seal, not a bonder. again your other doors are salvagable and it sounds like you will do less work with them then the parts doors if you have a welder just weld the holes...you wont be "cutting corners" by using fiberglass....you will be doing it WRONG. the windows you need to use 3m windshiled urethane. i used 1 tube for both quarter glass' k, ill try to make a trip down there if i find time tomorrow. any advice as to the proper way of taking it out though? my instincts tell me to pry carefully but im pretty sure the outcome would be the same. i noticed that there is alot of sealant holding that window inplace, i think the best way would probably to heat the glue from inside the car until you can easily pry but i dont have a heat gun |

[quote name='b1gr3d' date='Jan 20, 2010 - 2:11 PM' post='828845'] i just skimmed through your thread so bear with me... -DO NO FIBERGLASS ANYTHING BUT FIBERGLASS! -if you get a toms lip then it will need to be plastic welded or bonded with a 2 part epoxy like said before. -http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...sa%3DX%26um%3D1 you need the cold knife and the long knife to do it. 1. take out your interior trim 2.get inside and u will see the pinch weld that the glass is glued to 3.take the cold knife with a 90 degree bend blade shove it into the urethane and pull (careful NOT to put too much stress on the glass or you will have to buy ANOTHER) 4.you wont be able to get in super deep so you will use the long knife to cut deeper 5.push out the glass SLIGHTLY to see if and where it moves and keep cutting where it doesnt *the corners all are crap to do so just take your time and use a heat gun to help pull the glass away from the body and cut as you are pulling this is the best i can do without pictures....just take your time and don't cut the trim around the glass because you will reuse it -do not fill holes with anything but the material it is..IE weld steel don't use bondo-it WILL rust again and ruin the paint job/your hard work (1) money and quality wise would you recommend i do a maaco job or tackle painting on my own(either rent a booth or enclosed tent)? [] save money and have a local reputable shop do it. (2) are there any considerations/advice for using bondo or other recommended products on non-metal surfaces such as the bumper and sideskirts? will the flexibility of the bumper be a problem? bondo is one of many brands-its body filler if you bump anything it will fix (3) Im pretty much gonna sand/bondo the entire car and am considering a bodykit. If i were to get a cheap one off ebay, will getting the thing to fit be the same as sanding and bondoing the thing,Id love the gt-four look, have any recommendations on where to get bodykits for cheap? [b]cheap body kit= ***ty body kit. i had a cheap nvader kit and it was just over 1/16in thick. you could get lucky and it fits first try but more than likely you will have to heat it up and bend it into the correct shape...i say go OEM with lips (4) I am also having problems with rust below both doors. Rust cant be seen from the outside, but looking from the inside, it is definitely a problem. Would u recommend i restore it myself by cutting and welding or just replace the door entirely? unless there are clear holes do not cut and weld.--your doors can be salvaged pretty easy. i will need to take them off and remove the rubber, use that rust buster wheel in the picture to remove the seam sealer and rust from the door...re seam seal it .then after it dries i can repaint it--i suggest you strip the rust (5) When i do paint it, would you recommend i remove different parts; hood, trunk, doors? also, would it be worth my while to remove things like the lining and windshields? id figure sanding and bondoing would be nicer with the linings removed. these are things to consider as well but for the most part take it all apart-i took my mirrors apart that way there would be no red visible ever. did i have to-no. but i wanted a nice finish. if you do not take them apart then u cant prep insice the mirror and overspray will get in there and eventually peel thanks, ill modify my wtb to reflect a coupe. (6) Any videos and/or websites would you recommend i check out before i start. most of the videos i watched seemed to be from the 80's. any videos with more modern techniques? or has restoration been pretty much ageless. .basic restoration IS ageless but techniques evolve and materials do too Thanks, do you know there number? also, do they take the part off for you or do you take it off yourself? |

But they turn your high beams into something like a flashlight- the light is directed at one specific spot instead if spread out. The low beams will be useless. Why would they be useless? As I understand it, the diffusers inside the headlight lens spread the light out evenly. With the high beams and custom lenses, the light gets directed at one spot. With the low beams and custom lenses, the light scatters everywhere, so you wouldn't have enough light on the ground to be able to see with. You'd also blind everybody coming down the road at you. The JDM high beams are designed to still be useful and effective at spreading the light out without the diffusers, and the projector inside the low beam does the job of directing the light. sory everone . read means so difficule I could be slowly RELY |
