eraezer - Supra MK3 -89 -Swedish Build

[eraezer]

But it's still around the rear wheels so it's cool.
Hell no! I always want to learn more and by repairing this rust I'm learning more.
And besides this is not that much rust.

Today I started with the hard to reach place in the right rear wheelhouse.
I took the easy way: Cutting.

THe rear right wheelhouse is soon completed, just need to connect
the outer tin with the inner tin.

No work on the supra today.
Instead I bought some stainless steelbraided hoses for the brakes and the clutch.
A local hose company did it for me and this was the first acctual part that I bought
for the supra.

New hoses

The reinforcement in the wheelhouse is a little bit more complete now, just the outer tin left.

What do you think about the oil cooler?
It's made for big forest working machines to cool the hydralic fluid in them.
I will only use half of it and I have to weld my own endtanks for it.

Did some more welding on the hard to reach place

My soon to be engine oil cooler

I have now started on the other side.
With the experience from the previous wheelhouse I hope that this one will take less time
and just go easier.

I started on the rear left wheelhouse

...and with that, the cutting begins

Great work! Do you have a time frame on whats left of the rust removal?

Nice shop lights btw...I need more than my 2 60watt bulbs

 

[eraezer]

Thank you
THe supra needs to be back on wheels before the end of june.
The rust that is left is in the left rear wheelhouse (rust in the same places as the right one).
Then there is a little bit of rust on the front fender and the passenger door, but these spots will have to wait.

The shop lights are a big improvment over the old ones, it's alot easier to weld and to do other types of work there.

 

[eraezer]

the first order from Driftmotion.com has been placed

Today I got an IC from a friend
It used to be an IC for trucks, but got split into 2 pieces and this is one of them.
It's not perfect for my car, but I will see if I can get it to work.
The connections are 2.5" and 3"
If it doesnt work I will sell it to someone else.
