Finally that I put my pictures.
I do not know how to call it.

But I will.
After four years of standing and more than half a year, the mechanic / tinsmith.
Results in the pictures.

Of course, young and inexperienced in the wrench, I destroyed one screw in the front left seat.

Looking a darn site better now Stjephan !!

The "smart" way to remove that bolt is to weld another
bolt to it then use a socket wrench to undo it :idea:

YES !!!!!

Beautiful

Now don't let your uncle near it

I had the same trouble with the seat bolts. I nearly ruined one, but then bought a long breaker bar, which gave me more leverage on the bolt. It worked for me.

I don't know if you call them "breaker bars" in Croatia, but anyway, one of these

Yeap. Know that.
This is the only way that we left.
And the cheapest.

SerenaJ
My uncle will be allowed only to ride in the passenger seat. Behind the wheel is not, not even for half a million dollars.
Probably weld nut up and so unscrew. I have already prepared the second screw for it.

I'll call it "SnowWhite"... Why? Beautiful and white as snow. :lol:

That is until the carpet catches fire :laughing6:

Anyway, in best colour and the side skirt looks good, the front does look better now

If i have to deal with this bolt i would weld a larger nut over it! but again everything has to be covered so you don't destroy the car interior..
The car's looking like a brand new!

I wish you a 1 000 000 failsafe miles with it!

Looks good!

Steve Zodiac & Robbie
Yeah. Exactly. The carpet could catch. But it will later work so I get another find what I put below.
Side skirt is a little wrong placed. But to fix it. It was to be drawn out.
Thx.

maZZda
That's exactly what I'm going to work.

Thx. I hope to be. Now it's 305,000 km. :shock:

Hellracer
Thx. I hope that will look even better.

Now when I look at you car again I noticed the side skirts, those are pretty hard to find. Zender or poster I thought it was. be carefull with those, their rare.

**Posted:** Thu Aug 11, 2016 10:10 am

Hellracer
I'm not sure which.
I tried to find on the internet pictures of both of them, but no luck ...
I'll try off one side and I'll put a picture ... Or I'll take pictures from below.
Can you maybe post a picture of these side skirts?
They looks to me as Zender , but my side skirts are slightly misplaced.

No work to tuesdey.
Wednestday is time to MOT. I hope i will pass.
Now it's time to think what to do...

Have some old JBL amplifier and JBL subwoofer...
Now, use it or not?

**Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2016 4:21 pm

Placed JBL amplifier and subwoofer!

I filled LPG at a local gas station! (Not registered was driving 20 kilometers away to recharge the gas)

Tomorrow fixing brakes.
I probably go to the technical inspection (MOT)

**Posted:** Wed Aug 17, 2016 12:29 pm

Rain us (me and my dad) caught in the execution of plans.
We did not able to remove drums.
Probably after the technical, changing the entire rear brakes.
Probably be too expensive.

**Posted:** Wed Aug 17, 2016 1:15 pm

Drums ????
I thought they all had rear discs ?
You poor Europeans got screwed worse than us Aussies with base Model Toyotas ! :lol:

College and work will not go together.

I'll see what to do next.
I went for a test drive with the brakes and nothing. Everything still the same!

Edit (Aug 17, 2016 8:51 pm):
I had no peace. So I researched the internet and found to remove the drums.
I took them, cleaned of dust and and everything else, bring back on car, but again the same ... I took off again, then came uncle from work, something with a hammer lying banged and handbrake works. :shock:

**Posted:** Wed Aug 17, 2016 11:22 pm

This should give you some "inspiration" ! :shock:

You can swap a complete rear axle assembly from a MX3 V6. Direct fit, only need that rearaxle and 2 brakelines (you can use the same as the front brake lines)

I watched it. Here's what I found to be easier to remove drums.

**Posted:** Thu Aug 18, 2016 4:10 pm

Can see now ! :lol:

The leading front pad looks DREADFUL !!!
But at least the drums are "finned" for cooling

Of course it is. That is why the right brake either did not work properly.
The capital that now everything works.

They are. Even I think I have another one, used but in good condition.
I didn't get to see in the twilight the condition of drums. :lol:

**Posted:** Thu Aug 18, 2016 6:27 pm

Like I said.. Pull apart / clean / inspect & reassemble

I will. I must. :lol:

It is rare to see Astina in good condition. An this mine is in very good condition. There's only a little surface rust.

I wanna post some pics with BBS, but I accidentally delete them from my phone.
