2016 Fr-s rebuild and build
Hey everyone. My names Kunal, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Toronto. Little background on me: ive been doing auto body (bodywork and pepper, now apprentice painter) for almost 6 years now and I'm a certified machinist and now I'm in school for automotive design/industrial design.
The car: it's a 2016 Fr-s with 1035km. It was damaged in some accident and because I work in this trade I know how to fix this easily and properly. This is going to a be a rebuild to original condition and then build into street/occasional track car. I eventually want to go all out with this car and enter more serious races and cage the car but till then it will remain my street car and weekend grassroots track car. upload images free image upload no limit image free hosting It's a pretty easy fix. We deal with cars 5x as messed up at work and they come out looking like nothing ever happened. |

Yeah it's salvage. Insurance down here will salvage the smallest of damage. I've seen cars completely side swiped needing a new door, quarter, fender head and tail lights not being salvage, and then there's cars like.mine which are minor accident cars being written off. Once I fix it and do my salvage safety it'll be branded rebuilt. The only airbag that deployed was driver curtain

Glad to see another twins being saved from the wrecking yard. More and more folks are starting to see the value of salvage twins and prices will soon increase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the cars at my work place now. Boss is a real nice guy and is letting me keep it here and do all the work.
Got the complete suspension in from another crashed frs. Got my fender from the Subaru dealer locally. For anyone looking to buy replacement OEM fenders, call both Toyota and Subaru. Toyota quoted me $390 shop price and Subaru gave me the same thing at $270 shop price. Just waiting on my airbag and front bumper and I'll have this on the frame machine to be pulled. photo hosting sites Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |

Started and almost finished my bodywork. My shops been real backed up and since I'm a student Im only able to go in twice a week. Got like 4 cars finished for my boss and started my car.
So this isn't necessary but just a peace of mind I like putting a layer of fiber glass down before my filler. If it was a smaller repair I wouldn't have done so and also the panel was pulled well so at most I've got like 2mm of filler on the deepest area. Fiber glass: photo hosting sites Cut that down with a cheese file and a 40 grit on a block and got a layer if my lightweight on there. This is my favourite lightweight filler to use. It's consistency is basically like dolphin glaze or a metal glaze but it's a light weight filler. U-pol flyweight Gold. upload img upload a gif DA'd it down with some 80 ans blocked it. adult picture hosting upload an image Still got a little bit more bodywork to do then I'll prime it. Gonna have it in 2k before I leave from work Saturday and planning to paint it next Wednesday when I'm back in. If anybody needs any tips or has any questions on bodywork let me know I'm glad to help. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |
