Hi everyone, I thought I'd share the build of my C110 coupé.

A bit of a back story, I purchased a white coupé back in 2008 sight unseen (just pictures on eBay). While the car looked OK the listing wasn't completely truthful and the car was really rough and full of rust.

It had been patched up very poorly and a lot of the rust was hidden. As I dismantled the car, the more parts I removed and the more filler I stripped, the bigger the problems were. Sure it was repairable but it was not the base I was looking for and it was too incomplete. The floor pan, around the windows and the sills etc were all rusted out so it was more than just your usual 240K rust.

good work adm

Thanks mate.

no probs...

I've been doing some more work on the interior today. The pillar covers in C110's seems to deteriorate really badly from UV exposure. I have two problems, my interior is blue, and most of my pillar trims are warped and cracked beyond repair. I sourced a passenger side c-pillar trim from Japan and a forum member was kind enough to donate a snapped drivers side a-pillar trim.

Troy has some plastic welding tools he uses to repair motorbike fairings which are perfect for this job. A soldering iron is used to join/melt to two pieces together and create a channel to fill with new material.

The channels are loaded with plastic which is heated by a heat gun, it's almost like soldering!

The end result is extremely strong, so strong in fact that you can actually flex the entire piece without breaking the join, it would probably snap elsewhere first.

Next I sanded back the piece and drilled out the fastening hole.

I bogged up the pillar cover, sanded it back and then sanded the entire piece ready for high fill.

I hit all the pieces with a soft pad ready for high filling, rubbing back and painting. Not sure what I'm goign to do with the texture yet but I'm sure it will come up nice.

wrap the front ones in vinyl, Allan has a set on his K, they look pretty cool......good work

Not a bad idea mate, I'll check it out. I might spray them first and see how they look, I figure I can wrap them after if they don't look right.

I finally received the gaskets I've been waiting on from Japan for the parker/indicators. I've been keen to get these back together so I can fit them back into the bumper.

I didn't realise how bad the old gaskets were until I put them side by side. The old set had shrunk quite considerably.

The lights have come up pretty good I'll fit them back into the bumpers soon and take some more snaps.

are them gaskets off that seller with alll the other rubber parts?

I picked up the gaskets from Yahoo Japan, you might be thinking of Rubber Soul?

Yup that's them.

Fitted the lights etc back into the bumpers, man they look nice!

Time to bubble wrap and put them away.
