Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well I have the ramp to my self for a week so I thought I would give it a good tidying up underneath! I had not been going long when I found some suspicious bubbles in the paint on the drivers side sill. I then proceeded to scrape them off only to fined the was not a lot left at the back of the paint! So this is what I have been up to today!! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsd20f6d28.jpg.html'> A bit more prodding and it turned into this! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps620f7836.jpg.html'> so I then cut it all out! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps55214af9.jpg.html'> then cut this out from a card template http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps48cab4d4.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps41eda013.jpg.html'> Welded in place http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps08dd9e3d.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpscc602afa.jpg.html'> Next to plate up the top, cut this bit to go inside. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpscc602afa.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsea2a868b.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsee9629f8.jpg.html'> All welded up! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps4e1bd470.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps9446eee8.jpg.html'> Then it was all rust cured ready for the paint in the morning!! The other side is still as good as new so im not too sure what exactly made this side go like it has apart from there been a bit of water in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Cheers mate! Its a good job I have because I found some more rot today!! so thats been taken care of now! I came across this in the n/s/r corner at the back of the wheel its been getting a bit of a battering from the muck from the wheel for quite some time! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps4ff0d256.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps1f9676c1.jpg.html'> Another cardboard template http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsa7a739ce.jpg.html'> Then cut out in steel I formed it to go round the raised shaped bit http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps5b8766c7.jpg.html'> Weld through coating on gives a bit more protection http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps5cc9a128.jpg.html'> Ready for welding on. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsb3673d08.jpg.html'> I did get it welded and painted but forgot to take picks!! I hope this is the last of the welding! 15 years as a daily driver has started to take its toll on the old girl now so plenty of cleaning off the rust, painting and wax oiling is going on!

jayc-glanza17 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 cracking work rob, im starting to do this to mine over next couple weeks..p.s was good finally meeting you at japfest, glad the strut brace is doing you proud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Cheers mate it was nice talking to you too! Well I got some more done today got some paint on and the wax oil in the wheel arches. That should help keep it rust free! I also got cracked on with relocating the battery to the boot, I have had the box ages now so I thought I best get on with it! I made all new earth leads to go around the engine bay too as I have used 2 core wire for the relocation it made sense to change them wile I was doing it all. The ones on the right are the earth and the ones on the bobbing are the poss. The cables into the boot I will take some picks of them under the car but I forgot today. The box! Mega fuse on the side to be safe! Just needs to be fastened down now! Edited May 15, 2013 by Rob H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 cracking work dude, when I did mine I linked my battery still to the fuse box in engine, as did mine quickly.lol..and what wax oil did you use mate?as going to do this to mine again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 The stuff I use I get from work its Volvo stuff its very good but takes ages to dry out properly but it stays greasy it does not go hard at all so it does not come off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well got it all finished off today and moved the sub around in the boot http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps78b8c6c3.jpg.html'> The wiring running under the car http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps15711b8e.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsb5b5a312.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsf532397d.jpg.html'> And the finished bay, It looks so much better with out the massive battery in there! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsa62d0cc7.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Got FLAPS!!!!

The rear brackets use one of the original liner bolts and then the 4 self tappers that come with the kit. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/016_zps7d7633c4.jpg.html'> once you have them mounted hold to flap up to the bracket and mark them for the holes where you want them to go and then drill out the holes 6mm and bolt them up! I drilled one then used that as a guide to drill the second one so they end up exactly the same. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/017-1_zps1116f62a.jpg.html'> The fronts are all predrilled for ya so you just bolt the flaps to the bracket, take out the 2 arch liner bolts and bolt them on!! One thing I did have to do was cut the fronts down as they would have dragged on the floor at the length the come but this will depend on your ride height to what length you will need them. Out of the box http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/015-1_zps8dcb014f.jpg.html'> Cut down. I only took 3/4 inc off them so there still pretty low so I may take some more off them yet. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/014-1_zps0294c4ea.jpg.html'> And the finished job!!! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/019-1_zps77018a0f.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/022-1_zps2638fc81.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/024-1_zps40b22d67.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well its had a bit of a transformation this weekend!!! I dropped on a mint 98spec front bumper and genuine toyota splitter in the correct black for my car from Matt ep91 glanza so then sorted out for Richdog to paint my bonnet and side skirts I have had sat about ages. Must say Richdog (Simon) has done a fantastic job of painting them for me and got them all done within the week so I could get them fitted this weekend! So heres how it looks now! One Glanza one N\A lol http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps486a8a49.jpg.html'> A pair of them! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsbe6ddc20.jpg.html'> Bumper on for a test fit! It only needed a bit trimming off the bottom for the cooler pipes so I was happy with that! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsc380ac4a.jpg.html'> I made a tilt bracket for the number plate too. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps8c370d98.jpg.html'> Skirts stuck on!! Tiger seal ftw!! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps159d0ed9.jpg.html'>http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps7f4fc64b.jpg.html'> The finished thing!! im well happy with the look Ive always had a thing for the 98 front end!!

A L 3 X Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Looks great mate, the only thing is the tilt brackets meant to be the other way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Looks great mate, the only thing is the tilt brackets meant to be the other way I know lol but this way the air can get behind the plate and to the cooler thats why I made it like that. Cheers for the comments lads! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 looks much better dude, one thing that bugged me about this was the fact the FMIC hung below the bumper and now its hidden Great build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Ah fair enough, I was gonna say I thought they were meant to use the plate to direct air to the cooler, dunno if it works tho lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
