My Corolla pics!!!

[kiyo]

Guess some people interested in whats goin on my corolla.
I gonna update some photos that I took so far.

hope u enjoy!!


Long Long time ago.....


The condition When I bought it, bare metal car!!!
should I have just painted clear coat? lol


Quick primer can paint at Edmonton and Frozen drive to my home.
there were no weather strips, even one weather strip.
No weather strips, no interior.
tempreture was like -15c or something...
I was just frosted in the crolla...lol


Some stich welding work.


There was HUGE hole at there, that was HUGE.
weld up the hole and BONDO.


BONDO work, I weld up the side marker hole, and there were 6 of small holes on body. welded all holes and BONDO WORK, EWWWW.


After paint work, Panda Color!!!!


Started to set up interior. oh yeah, there was no carpet when I was drive back from Edmonton, so I didn't need to use ash tray. Just throw cigaretts on to the floor and step on it.lol


Paint tinted tail lights, ex-owner did this, and I like this. Makes me feel more PANDA. lol
but when this tail lights light up, looks bit ugry...
cuz the paint work is not good.


This side rear fender was just gone, disappeared. it was terrible.
ex-owner tried to fix this, but his work was terrible too.
I just ripped off his crazy welded metal pieces, and welded another metal piece, actually the metal piece is Front Dside fender. And Glass fiber BONDOOOOOOOO


that was lucky, cuz the ex-owner didn't try to fix this side rear fender. this fender is made by fiber glass and BONDOOOO.
No metal piece in side of this fender, which means NO MORE RUST! lol


and few weeks ago..



hehe, I know this is not "best" body work. lol
but this is my first body work so forgiveme..

now about 90% work is done.
I need to get some "missing parts" and install them.
some interior and window moldings.

Hope tonight, I gonna GET OUT garage and park my place.

Time to DRIFT? lol

Amazing job Kiyo! I have had the privilege to see it step by step. You did a great job for a first timer.

Can't wait to see it on the road once it is complete.

KIYO!! PANDA!!!!!!!! cars loking good bud. I still can't believe that you got those rear fenders to look the way they did. The old owner had no idea what he was doing. Your soo clsoe now Kiyo all you need is a few more moulding pieces and you can battle the streets YAH!!! you guys have no idea how crazy Kiyo is you should have seen him working on this car every time I would go there he looked like a 50 year old man jsut coverd in bondo dust lol. He's been spending every day in Evans Garage working on it with the skill and percision of a true JDM driver This kid turned down a power sander cause he wanted to be able to feel the car eventualy however even japanese arms get tired and he turned towards a power sander The cars nearing completetion and I can't wait to see it on the road again kiyo
