Project: Lancer Boxtype 86 GT

[treebarkgem]

Good day po mga sir!

Tagal na po me nagbabasa dito sa community nyo. dami me natutunan talaga kaya i decided to join. bago pa lang po kasi me nagcacar. noob po talaga. 2nd hand boxtype po yung car ko. 1.6 po yung engine. white po color nung body. medyo may mga prob po yung car. got it only po kasi for 25k.

aircon not working (not sure ano prob).
yung ibang door medyo hrap na buksan, tapos yung window minsan hirap na rin ibba o itaas.
air filter dw po wala. (pero yung lalagyan daw po ng filter good condition pa)
oil daw baka palitan na rin daw.
battery ata naubos na. (hindi na namin mastart lately)
carpet sa loob medyo may part na rin na sira o tuklap.
stereo not working (kailangan pa daw irewire)
---- yung may "daw" po na part, sabi lang sa akin ng friend ko. di ko po kasi alam yung mga technical stuff eh ---

so far yun lang prob pero overall ok pa naman.

nalagyan ko na po yung seats ng bagong cover from ace hardware.
namasilya na po namin ng father ko yung maliliit na lumobo sa body. mga 6 small spots.
pipintahan namin pag tumigil na yung ulan.
planning din na pintahan yung rims ng white paint. spray paint from ace (ok lang po ba to?)

hindi ko po kasi alam kung applicable sa lumang car yung sa ibang threads dito.

ask ko lang po kung kayo po kunwari may project na ito. ano po gagawin nyo para maging matino yung car. saan po kayo pupunta para paayos? magkano kaya overall na gastos? min setup na ok na pampamilya at max setup nyo po na pormado yung car.

thanks po in advance.

As long as the engine is in good running condition, everything else is minor.

Personally, I'd strip the car down to bare metal and start welding in areas that have rusted away... I'd also have all the seams and joins re-welded or reinforced.

At the same time, you can have the engine checked, reconditioned, and overhauled. If it doesn't need one, just run it at least once a week so it won't get stuck up. The painting and refurbishing of the body is also a good time to work on the cooling system (radiator, hoses, thermostat, etc.) to ensure that the car runs smoothly when you're done.

I don't know your area, so I don't know the shops, but fixing the body and slapping on some decent Anzahl paint would probably cost around 25k or less.

Why don't you try posting photos para may reference tayo.

A compression test would be good (to check if an overhaul is needed).

For a start change all the fluids:
*Engine oil
*Axle oil
*Transmission oil
*Engine coolant
*Brake fluid
Replace all the filters:
*Air filter (don't use the vehicle without it, kapag nag-bara carb mo, overhaul iyan)
*Fuel filter
*Engine oil filter
You may also consider replacing the following:
*Spark plugs
*Plug wires
*Fanbelts
*Timing belt (if replacement history is unknown). When replacing t-belt, replace all associated tensioners and the water pump.
Inspect the following:
*Brake pads and brake shoes
*Shocks for leaks (loss of damping force)
*Check for worn, cracked, missing suspension bushing
*Condition of the tires (including spare)
*Check body for rust, for leaks, etc.
*Check for fluid leaks and do the necessary corrective measures (replace gasket, etc.)
*Check radiator for oil or white milky substances (there should be none)
*Observe if there is white/bluish highly visible smoke from tailpipe even at full operating temperature and with hot ambient temperature.
*Observe if oil level decreases with usage of vehicle.

Try removing the inner door panels para makita mo what's causing the window winding problem and the door handle stiffness.

Unahin mo na muna yung mga mechanicals before the cosmetics. Yung door panels niyan hanggang ngayon may gumagawa pa din ng brand new. hehehe.

Wow dami po pa pala dapat ichcheck. I'll try to upload some pix ng labas at loob ng car lalo na po yung makina. Para maging detailed po lahat. Baka tom po me makaupload ng pix. pipicturan ka pa po eh. hehehe dito pa me office. hehehehe

May wiring din po pla me nakita under ng seat sa likod. hindi ko na lang po ginalaw nung naglilinis me.

At least i know na pwede pa pala talaga ayusin yung car. For me (noob) kasi mukhang ok naman na yung car. pero syempre iba yun sa point of view ng may technical knowledge.

ipopost ko po yung pix as early as possible.
