Same thing ? :O

For Tristan:

How to properly repair rust, something which whoever did the dodgy-ass job on your 180 should take note of (Note: not the job Dave did last weekend, that shit is legit. I am talking about whoever did the original abortion). Bought to you by Garage 31.

Step 1: Actually remove all the rust.

Step 2: Apply paint. For best results, this should be the same colour as the original paint and done by someone who knows what they are doing. But at the very least paint it with something, to prevent MORE rust.

Step 3: Profit.

Result:

Big thanks to Dan for coming and doing the major bits of painting last night!

After lunch, all the panels will be going back on. Then its a trip to the paint shop tomorrow to try and sort out the dodgy ones...

agreed - grinding back, and exposing the rust - and not treating it at all is a piss weak effort, much can be said about such questionable workmanship

however,

another thought for rust (not removal, but maybe containing?) is when u have a small amount of rust from where the paint cracked when u rolled your guards - simply cover it with some clear nail polish - and it will contain it, until u are ready to remove it and fix it correctly (usually done when car is re-sprayed)

i am going to do this once it stops raining and it is dry ;)

the job you've done in the pics looks quality mang!

ps, also ordered some epic headlights - hopefully ill actaully be able to see more than 10metres in front of me hahahha

Yep, I've been busy fixing all the rust from guard rolling too. I sand the rust off, and then hit it with touch up paint.

But good call on the nail polish, that should stop it rusting at all if you apply it as soon as the paint starts to crack.

im going to dodge the f**k out of you

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
