  1. Got in it today and searched today and it seems like it was dripping on the drivers side somewhere above the fuses on the kick panel. Plus the drain holes in the doors and the drain channel on the pillars above the door blocked so cleared them out with some wire. Yeah the seal around the windscreen looks a bit dodge so its most probably the problem. Ive also got the crack in the vent on the dash your talking about. :P must be a given.
  2. Hi there, Pick up a ae92 for $300 with original 143,000km on the clock. Ive had it for a few weeks now and i have plans on re-spraying it. Dings and dents have been fixed and I have gutted the entire car out...interior, plastic panels and carpet. The car has been outdoors and just with the on and off rain for the past 2 days I have noticed that both passenger and driver sides on the floor pans there is about half a cup to a cup of water sitting there. Has this ever happened to anyone or know where its coming from? If so how do I go about fixing it?
  3. Please delete thread....Purchased new interior
  4. Hi looking for full interior for a ae92 corolla hatch. Needs to be in good condition, no tears. Needing front driver and passenger seats & rear seats. Also needing all door panels. If you have any please let me know... reply to thread or pm me. Located Sydney N.S.W. Daniel
  5. Damn Hiro im drooling over that front bar! Nice work. Ive add the clear side indicators to my rolla but ive been trying to get my hands on one myself for my ae102. Is it a simple swap over or is there any modifications need doing?
  6. Thanks Kenshin, to be honest I really don't know. I don't see why it wouldn't work, as long the tail lights are plastic and your getting that oxidisation on the outside of the rear tail lights. Whats up with your tail lights?
  7. HAHAHA yeah the boys from mighty car mods kill it!
  8. This headlights are plastic and it had some minor scratches on them which seemed to come out with the fine sanding and the cutting. The scratches weren't anything major, nothing like a deep scratch or anything. If it nothing to deep you should give it a go.

  10. Just thought I would post up a step by step guide to restoring headlights which get foggy and accumulate that yellowish haze over them. So this is my cheap and very effective headlight restoration I did yesterday for my mums car. You can buy headlight restoration kits from auto one and supercheap auto between $40-$50 but they pretty much consist of sand paper, cutting compound and polish. What you will need: 1200, 1500, 2000 grit sandpaper ( Bunning only stock up to 1200 grit sandpaper, I went to my local pannel beating shop and purchased the higher grade paper there) Cut and polish of your choice Car polish or plastic polish (I just used what I had on hand) Rags Tape for masking Bucket with water This is the left head light which you can see is hazed First off start by wetting down the headlight at this point have a piece of your 1200 grit sandpaper in the water getting ready to use. I try to keep the sandpaper not to big so its much easier to manage. I start with a horizontal motion across the headlight, you will see the water running off the headlight yellowish in colour this is just the oxidised layer which has built up. Remember to keep the sandpaper and headlight wet Next step is to use the 1500 grit sand paper I do this in a vertical motion just to even out the fine scratches that the sandpaper leave. Its alright because these scratches will come out when you cut and polish. After finishing with the 1500 more onto the 2000 grit and do this is a horizontal motion. At this point the headlight will feel really smooth. After you have completed the sanding dry off the headlight with your rag. The headlight will look hazy at this point but it will polish out. I then mask off around the headlight because you dont want to burn out the paint around the headlight It then time to cut and polish, this can be done by buffer machine but I dont have one so I just did it by hand. Start from one side and slowly work your way through the headlight. You will notice it becomes very smooth like glass. Once you finish cutting and polishing the headlight will look great but I finish off with polish just to make it smooth and get all the fine marks out. Headlight after cut and polish Headlight complete after polishing. Follow the same process on the right side Right side before Right side after sanding and taped Right side after cut and polish and final polish Hope this step by step guide helps, It only costed me $1.80 which was the cost of the sandpaper and 30 minutes out of my time.
  11. Hey there I'm looking for a passenger door for my ae102 97 hatch, because some prick decided to leave a dent in it without a note. Would prefer a white door if someone out there has one. Got a few quotes ranging from $400-500 to get the dent out because they have bent the plastic body line mold as well. A mate picked one up from a wreckers for his rolla, but I have had no luck with the wreckers so far. I'm in sydney metro area, let me know if you have one or know of a good place getting some panels. Hit me back on daniel_boon@hotmail.com or just on the forum. Thanks
