1987 "Artic granny" EP70

[MR-2]

Nuts first welded to plate and then plate to body, finnish one part seat don't have factory place for hinge, found some german 1.3L S seats.

[MR-2]

Welded full frame with 2cm cap, so horrible job doing without crane on the floor, my neck and poor face, no mask :/ Paint burned in cabin side, more painting.

[MR-2]

[MR-2]

Few better pictures, car is so low that difficulties to take good pictures with poor mobilephone.

[MR-2]

So hard to do corners, grinders won't fit and brakelines are front also.

[MR-2]

Old school or new school idiot, old school

[MR-2]

I prefer fuck school

[MR-2]

And primer next.

[MR-2]

And bodysealing or what is right english word. Hopefully don't rust from inside, hate that rubbershit. Tomorrow topcoat, maybe gunmetall or some grayish color.

[MR-2]

Boring sleeper color, gunmetal with small hammer effect.

[MR-2]

And valve rock cover with VHT Black wrinkle, only one layer and no heat, don't wanna big wrinkle effect.

[MR-2]

After few hour, goes more matt in one day, have to wait. I think one wet layer is enough, have learned that, otherwise wrinkle is too heavy and sharp corners craks.

[MR-2]

Rocker cover installed with Victor Reinz seal kit.

[MR-2]

N/A intake manifold and Glanza throtlebody, bolt on, don't know benefits yet, have to test or change smaller oem. Exhaust manifold is still mystery, turbo or n/a...

[MR-2]

And attempt to install inside blower speed selector from EE100 Corolla, don't fit to original place, but original is two time changed and no more available. Burned wires and melyed plastic inside, P7 owners knows :/

[MR-2]

Tooked plug and 20cm wire from Corolla, plug needed.

[MR-2]

Cutted Starlet wires, so hard and burned near plug. Easy to connect, Corolla selector have four speeds and Starlet three, so one wire not connected, and no light wires.

[MR-2]

Have hide somewhere under clovebox, don't care now because bigger installation and electric jobs are coming when going EFI engine...

[MR-2]

Purhaced extra CT12 from JZA80 Supra, much bigger than Starlet CT12 (right). All flanges are totally different, custom jobs are coming if using Supra turbo...

[MR-2]

Efi modded carburator fueltank is ready to inside granny

Corolla EE100 hanger with Supra 2JZ-GTE fuelpump.

[MR-2]

Here is one spare salted tank vs new, can see easily what is modded. No more salt for this granny, only can see sunny warm days in future...

[MR-2]

Arg, I bought new drum handbrake cables and other have red cover, damn, I'm pedant and this can't allowed :/ Red don't have any brand and cheap looking plastic mounting point. Other black is made by Shibami Japan and good lookin quality. Called already to Koivunen customservice and got info that all right cables in Finland are red and no more coming.Have to hunt black one outboard somewhere. Never seen red cable, life is hard sometimes :/

[MR-2]

Maybe I have to put EP82 GT disks then, I, m having those also and brand new BluePrint cables for those. Plan was to keep drum long as possible, because better handbrake. I have also EP91 n/a drum brakes and cables, but don't know are those too long for EP70 body, 8cm longer axle arms. I'm gona do hydraulic handbrake also side of cable system, for autoslalom...

[MustakimQZ]

Awesome work on this. Mad respect!

[MR-2]

Car went out of garage, so pissed to clean shit away behind fuel filler tube wall. Have to do this before installing. Luckily summer is here, no more snow shit This must be ready this weekend, hopefully free weekend from job also...
