Project: Lancer Boxtype 86 GT

**treebarkgem** · September 26th, 2006 02:03 PM

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.

**legnacilyz** · September 27th, 2006 03:01 AM

wow! totoo pa lang may Lancer GT boxtype! wala pa kasi akong nakikita niyan eh.. GSR yung saken boxtype ren.. i bet 4g32 ren engine niyan? hmmm.. san po ba pwedeng mag pa COMPRESSION TEST? tanong lang po.. thanks!!

sir treebarkgem, revive niyo po yang car na yan! rare ang GT.. kadalasan po kasi SL 5 speed na nakikita ko.. Lancer GT is one of the leading fastest car back in the days along with GSR kaya im proud having a GSR boxtype!

cheers!

**russpogi** · September 27th, 2006 05:08 AM

Dapat bantayan 'tong thread na 'to!!! I'm planning to get an 80's car as well eh.

**froshie1** · September 27th, 2006 07:20 AM

oh please minor request sana wag mong palagyan ng JDA plate holder. hehehe

**treebarkgem** · September 29th, 2006 02:06 PM

Sorry for the delay of the pix. Medyo ulan ng ulan po eh. Medyo wala po kaming garahe eh kaya naligo ng naligo sa ulan yung car. Mintik pang matamaan ng mga sanga ng kahoy. This weekend mapopost ko na po yung pix. thanks.:construction:

**vinj** · September 29th, 2006 06:14 PM

With most project cars i've done (mga 2nd hand na bibibili namin) i usually start with engine/mechanicals (what Otep mentioned) then i move onto the suspension work body work, then accessories.

Take your time to look around for parts and canvass for the repairs so you can "plan" your project.

**treebarkgem** · September 30th, 2006 10:45 PM

Hello po mga sir, ito na po yung mga major pixs ng car pati nung engine. Included na rin po yung links para sa iba. So far po wala pa pong major na napalitan talaga pwera lang po sa seat cover at paglilinis namin. di ko pa po kasi alam kung saan magsisimula magayos.

**niky** · October 1st, 2006 04:54 PM

Hmmm... okay na okay yung body. If there's no bubbling yet, you can focus on the mechanical and wear items, as OTEP listed.

That's a pretty good looking Box-Type, if I do say so myself.

**cuecraftsman** · October 1st, 2006 11:58 PM

congrats sir! mura na yan at 25k... from the pix posted orig na GT nga.
note the white/red rear lights and front bumper 86 na tail lights/front grill
steering...fair naman body for a 20y/o car.
kaibahan neto sa GSR model e yung rear disc break 1.8L engine na mas malakas komunsumo...

by the way...sabay mo nalang pag-paint ng magwheels sa body
ma-disappoint ka lang sa do-it-yourself spray paint.

**cuecraftsman** · October 2nd, 2006 12:04 AM

and just in-case you dont want to spend further/avoid headaches...
Im just a PM/phonecall away...

30k cash

**OTEP** · October 2nd, 2006 09:38 AM

Hindi ba pinapasokng tubig yung cabin/trunk?

**nicolodeon** · October 2nd, 2006 09:57 AM

'Had a Lancer boxtype too once (GSR with Sirius engine).

From the pic, I'd say oks pa ang body. Gaya ng sabi nina Fafa Otep, engine/mechanicals ka muna then move to suspension tas electricals.

**johnart** · October 2nd, 2006 10:19 AM

pansin ko lang bakit na pintura yung mga bolts sa may front shock absorber ? At nawawala yung manufacturer plate sa may firewall in the engine compartment. I think dapat canlubang pa ang nakalagay sa plate na ito. Tsaka parang bagong hilamos itong lancer?

**OTEP** · October 2nd, 2006 10:32 AM

Siguro may previous hilamos na. Pero mukhang stock pa naman yung sasakyan. No radical modifications or anything. Which is a good place to start.

**treebarkgem** · October 2nd, 2006 01:25 PM

Sir johnart hindi ko po sure kung nahilamos na po nung dating owner. sabi nya lang kasi sa akin wala naman daw sila masyadong binago sa car. ako po seat cover pa lang napalitan kasi medyo madumi na talaga yung luma. balak ko lang po unti untiin every month yung paayos. target ko po na magin maayos lahat by jan or feb next year. tipong wala na prob yung car.

yung manufacturer plate po di ba yung black na may mga number po? kung yun po yun, parang natanggal po ata sya. kasi nakita po yung na nakakalat sa lalagyanan sa may dashboard. nakita lang namin nung naglilinis kami.

Sir Otep nung after bumagyo po, nung binuksan ko yung loob pati yung trunk medyo may mga part na may basa. so im thinking may tulo na. Magkano po ba papalit ng mga goma sa windows, cabin and doors. feeling ko po kasi yung goma dun luma na kaya may tulo na siguro.

Sir cuecraftsman first car ko po ito. hehehe baguhan talaga kaya ok lang po siguro na makaranas po me ng unang sakit ng ulo. Achivement po sa akin pag naayos ko po ng matino itong boxtype project ko.

Thanks po sa lahat ng nagbigay ng inputs.

Sobrang salamat po talaga. Pag naayos ko po ito siguro makakasama na po me sa EB ng mga tsikot.yehey.com hehehe. Kasi part na po kayo ng success nitong project ko.

**OTEP** · October 2nd, 2006 01:30 PM

Yung goma sa bintana, isabay mo na lang sa hilamos. Paalis mo windshield at backglass. May available niyan na replacement sa nagbebenta ng auto glass. Baka kasi kailangan na din ng latero work nung pinangkakabitan ng gaskets.

Sa doors, check mo na din. Madaming replacement door seals naman. Ganun gamit namin for vintage restorations. Kung may orig man kasi, sobrang mahal na minsan. Yung mga replacement, yung bodyshop may nakukunan naman ng ganun.

Check mo din flooring kung wala pang rust through. Pa-retoke mo and pa-rustproof/undercoat mo after para tumagal.
