Wahlau, and i thought all thse items you bought them from Toys R' Us

 

[Joeker]

Bought from Toys 'R Us? actually most of the parts and items I used on this Project were sourced and procured from ZTH's classified forums.

So in a way, ZTH classified forums is sort of a "Toys 'R us" for us car mod enthutiast.

Deligiently surf ZTH classified forums and you should find alot of good deals.

A case for example, when ZTH member "MIVEC" alias Andrew posted his KE70 for sale, I gave him a call to ask where he bought his 4AGE engine and how much.

And thats how I got my hands on my 4AGE half cut.

PS : Tom, can I have a raise? :tongue:

Scraping the thick bitumen off the floor pan for spot welding.

 

[Joeker]

Laboured almost half a day and barely finish driver side oni :frown:.

But the result was worth it.

[Joeker]

And how much did all the bitumen from the driver side weight?

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Joe_Looi/1stSept.jpg


A measely 1.1 kg oni. :tongue:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Joe_Looi/1stSept5.jpg


A fren of mine who scrapped ALL the bitumen coating off his car (he practically stripped his car down to the bare shell and put on a "BBQ" like roller) told me the total weight loss from the bitumen is about 15kgs.

Well by the time, I get to 15kgs of bitumen loss, I'd be totally spent.

Oni half a day of scrapping the bitumen on the driver side floor pan is gving me a back and neck pain

 

[whatdamn]

joeker,
don't mind me asking, what's the purpose of the bitumen anyway? was thinking of removing it from my car as well, but gonna take ages like you said.

 

[Joeker]

its a sound deadening material.

All cars are coated with this bitumen to reduce the road-vehicle-harness (NVH) into the passenger compartment.

Yes, its very tedious work removing the bitumen.

Do it in stages.

As you go along, spot weld the seams for chasis reinforcement.

 

[Joeker]

actually its the other way around.

Before spot welding, you MUST get rid of the bitumen or else the welds won't hold.
