Hi over the summber I have got a welder and I have been fixing my car. I have fixed the holes where the wheel wells are. On both sides I need to fix a hole in the front still. So now all I need to do is fix the right fender and fix the left door. I got a wing for my car. And vary soon sometime this week I am going to pick up some rims for my car. I will get some pics of the parts I have fixed. Oh ya I need to dye my int black. And paint my dash black or dye I cant remember. It is not runing because I need a new battry cabel. Well thanks for reading.

ps: I will take some pics later.

 

here are pics of what i have done on my car. there is more i have done but my camara battrys died.

 

nice job

u still have more to come good luck

 

ncie job! now just get that motor running and there'll be one more first gen on teh road

 

What kind of welder did you use?

 

i dont know what welder we use but i know it only cost 100 dollors and you dont have to use gas. but i will find out tomarrow

 

arc welder

 

Decent results for a pretty cheap welder. I need to still save up and get a good mig/tig gas welder at some point...

 

Pick up a cheap grinder, like a dewalt, smooth down the welds and then put some POR-15 over it all so it dosnt rust out again(well at least from the inside).

So far good job man

 

It is a mig welder. We will grind down the welds. My dad got some stuff that you put on the metel and the rust and it eats the rust. Then all you do it wash it off with water. We have 2 grinders now we got the other one at canadiantire for 39 dollors and it comes with 30 grinding disks.

 

Ok I have got new rims and the rims are off a honda civic and they are the rims with all the diffrent holes for diffrent sizes and they fit. I will get pics later. oh ya and they are 15 inch.

 

it looks really good, more pics plz =D

 

i will vary soon i hope. wll here are my rims. i am going to clean them up and repaint them white.

 

There you go man. Nice your getting the car in good shape first.

 

thanks. the rims fits but there is one thing i mite need thiner bolt head or what ever you call it.

 

Go to a local parts store and bring a rim with you, and the original lug. They sell thin wall lugs that may work.

 

more pics:












here is my wing i got for my car:

 

wow thats alota welding congrats on keepin another 7 on the road

btw get a full side view of the car
most people hate the wings imho they look kinda cool

 

like the hole side of my car what side?? oh ya i omost forgot there was a dented rust spot on my door on the corner. so i fixed it right up i will get pics tomarrow. and i omost for got my dad helped me

 

thats not bad...your car looks just like the one my dad owned lol but years ago im sure its still sittin in his backyard in alaska and has been dead formore than fifteen years. ah my first memory of a rotory

 

That's not bad at all. Congrats on getting ever so much closer to getting your car back on the road.

 

Well i'll be the first to say that wing does nothing for me... lol.

But on a different note what gauge of metal did you use for your wheel well rust repair and how long would you say it took to do both sides? I'm going to have to do a similar repair on my car at some point.

 

yeah, the wing looks horrible to me too.

 

Well I like the wing and got it cheap!!!

I dont remember how long it took me to do the wheel wells because my dad helped me and we could only do like 3 hours a day befor my dad had to leave for work. I think it took 12 hours but on monday I will take more pics of what I have done on it becasue it is the long weekend so I will have more time to work on it. There was a rust hole ontop of the door that is now fixed. But like I said I will get some pics monday.

 

here is a update.
