Celica Forums General Discussion General My first larger DIY work

Hi all...

I just wanted to show you all some pictures of my first larger do it yourself work on my Celi...

In the winter they spray a lot af salt on the danish roads, and hence it is a good idea to do some kind of rust prevention on the car, so that I did

First I took the car apart... this is the front end without bumber, shilds and inner wings...

And this is the rear end without bumber and stuff...

And this is me working with all the greasy goo

It was actually quite fun doing this - even though the complete work took 3 days...

1st day: disasemble and wash car with high pressure water and dry for 24 hours in windy/drying conditions

2nd day: play width goo, make it dry, play with more goo aso..

3rd day: assemble car

But hey... I had fun - and I now know there is different levels of being sticky

inventive...

cool~

cool deal...

I hate road salt - good thing I live in Phoenix. Its unheard of down here.

^^^^^ yeah, but heat will annihilate your engine in a hurry

so what did this good do for your car anyways?

Read post. Lots road salt there, Rust Prevention

Rust inhibitor is a way of life up here. Its $70 to get the car sprayed each year. First time you are there, its real scary becuase they drill holes in your car to get into various spots. Its a clear petroleum gel, kinda like vaseline only not as thick.

got any pics of the actual goo you applied to your car?

thats y i live in socal, nothing but pure smog and ricers

Not at the moment... but I used a product called Dinitrol which should be the best product to our climate.

I used two types. An extreme thin one - almoste water like - to use everywhere. And then I used a thicker brown/black type for the underside and the wings and other "exposable" areas...
