Mr. Jimenez, I recommend www.rockauto.com and www.partsgeek.com. I have ordered from both online sources, and they sell original equipment parts. Have an Ablecraft day!

Thank you for the comment. Have an Ablecraft day!

SofaKingSteezy, Wow, very cool! The Corolla S is definitely a fun to drive commuter style! You may be the one to make some videos on that model. Also, some awesome car projects you have completed in years past. Have yourself an Ablecraft day!

Thank you for your contribution. The results of my welding process have been greatly enhanced by constructive comments and questions by contributors such as yourself. I say it's been an iterative process over time. Hopefully, empowering would be welders and metal fabricators doing this type of metal repairs! The rocker panel passenger side rust repair is a success! The patch is intact with no rust forming on backside of panel as of 19 August 2024. I'll share some of my observations and perceptions utilizing Flux core welding process. Lesson learned from flux core welding are as follows. The optimal welding tip length is between 1/2" and no longer than 3/4". The steel that you weld to needs to be free of corrosion and if you are butt welding materials be sure to have materials clamped together with no gap between them. Welding magnets can be utilized to assist butting materials together prior to getting those tack welds in place. Time on trigger is a four count say 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand, 4 one thousand when welding. Saying that out loud helped it become and unconscious mental thought, after a while you intuit it. The distance of welding tip striking material is optimally 1/8" of an inch approximately. Welding beads is more of a dragging motion with tip canted rearwards I pay particular attention to setting up the welding machine to properly process the materials. Dialing the voltage and wire speed is a must. I will tack weld some spots to see how the welds looks and just the voltage and wire speed accordingly. Failure to do so will result in over penetration with too much voltage and not enough voltage little penetration welds don't adhere to material. Cleaning off the slag with a wire brush assists with follow on welds and not wasting welding wire. Also, while welding I will apply tack welds a bit of distance apart from each other to keep the material from distorting due to the heat from the weld. Another technique I been practicing is to do a zig zag motion on the materials while doing a lap joint when moving horizontal and when while welding down (veridical). Vulcan .030 wire has been my wire of choice to weld with it spools out evenly and works well in humid environments and rain. I frequently weld outside in inclement weather. Bondo glass fiber resin has been a good bondo to use in areas where the metal may frequently come into contact with water. Then apply Evercoat automotive seam sealer to weld seam. Please view the attached link of the Ranger having Bondo glass applied the metal patch prior to primer paint. ua-cam.com/video/QvB6pglEZ1Y/v-deo.htmlsi=aCk0ZYFTjBryGoQE Have yourself an Ablecraft day! If i can do it you can do it even better!

Fuen-co Wow! Thank you for your comment. 284,000 miles on your Toyota Corolla S, outstanding! Long live your Corolla. Have an Ablecraft day!

Philh9238, Thank you for your well-constructed comment. That bit of advice will be in mind on future welding jobs. . Thank you for your contribution. Have an Ablecraft day

Darrell, Thank you for your contribution. Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Albert, Thank you for your testimonial! You have shared some hard learned lesson. Keep on wrenching. Have an Ablecraft day!

Strangeuniverse, Thank you for the comments. Honda CBR enthusiasts will definitely enjoy reading them!

Mr. Hadaina, Outstanding craftsmanship converting your Corolla to a manual shift. I've considered doing the automatic to manual conversion with this Corolla but for now I'll drive it the way it is. If you happen to have any links or sources on the process of converting auto to manual do share. I'm sure Toyota enthusiasts would love to read about. Long live your Corolla! Have an Ablecraft day

@@ablecraft842 Good day bro, I'll look for the full conversion text later but it is simple. I got a donor 5 speed trans from euro 1999 corolla along with its clutch slave and master cylinder. I got a flywheel for 1.8l toyota and a clutch disc assembly to match. A location for each item is available from factory by corolla you only have to open them up and fix the items in place. Auto electrician will wire up the connection for it to start in all gears as against start in P and N for the auto. Vroom , that's all. I go through all gears as I like.

Mr. Hadaina, Excellent explanation of an overview on the conversion process! You have skills! Have an Ablecraft day

Prosperhanyabui3488, This vehicle utilizes a timing chain. Thank you for your contribution. Have an Ablecraft day!

Thank you ​@@ablecraft842

GodKastle, Thanks for your contribution. As of now there are no plans to sell this Toyota! Mileage to date on odometer is 31822 miles. 500,000 miles would be epic, perhaps this car will see 400,000 miles!

Khancross, If you are referring to other black cable. That cable is the hood release cable. The tan cable is speaker wire. Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Robles, Thank you for your contribution! Quite welcome. Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Harris, Thank you for your contribution. I'm glad the content had value for you! Have a great Ablecraft Day!

Thank you for the testimonial! Driving that manual shift would be fun for sure!

@@ablecraft842 ya its ok but in the city can be a pain sometimes i wish i had a auto, but with this car i know it as i dont burn no oil and good on gas for sure you feel me .

Thank you for your contribution and comments! 2 Reply

Victor, Thank you for the comment. Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Mustin, Simply outstanding testimonial on your Honda Del Sol Si with 221,000 well maintained miles! I totally agree that the cost of ownership for this Toyota Corolla has been low. Long live your Honda Del Sol SI! Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Chris D, Thank you for your comment and glad the information had value ! Have an Ablecraft day!

Radsky, Glad you found the information had value. I purchased the part of Pick Your Part formerly known as LKQ. Please see attached link: www.lkqpickyourpart.com/ Rockauto is another source for accelerator cables for Ford Rangers. HTTPs://www.rockauto.com/ Have your self an Ablecraft day!

275K is a lot of miles on any vehicle lol

Mr. Lovits, Thanks for the comment about how your diagnosing issues. Your comments made reflect that sometimes the best way of learning is fixing other people's attempts at repairing things. Keep your CBR sunny side up and enjoy the ride! Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Reynolds, Thanks for the comment. The application of Fluid film is the best rust prevention product that I have purchased. Now when it comes to do it yourself products. I will combine used motor oil and transmission fluid into a 1 Gallon backpack handpump fertilizer sprayer. Then it will be sprayed on all the suspension components and frame. Avoid having the substance touch brake rotors it will inhibit stopping till it wears off.

Also for your viewing information check out the Ablecraft fluid film 2008 Jeep JK wrangler frame preservation series. ua-cam.com/video/Kkv6hPJXBN0/v-deo.html

Mr. Reynolds, Thank you for the kind words. I say practice makes perfect. In my case I'll be needing a lot of practice!

Sir, Thank you for the kind words! Positive comments really encourage and bolster the confidence of future welders and do it yourselves! Regards, Keep on, keeping on!

Ms. Smith, No problem at all stopping at high speeds with this VE Corolla. I base my stopping braking distance on real world driving conditions from inclement weather to normal dry roads. Other factors to consider on stop braking tests are the suspension, tires and brakes working at their optimum? If these components are not working together properly as a whole, you can expect degradation in the cars overall driving performance. For your information, check out this stop distance calculator to further increase you learning experience. Have yourself an Ablecraft day! www.omnicalculator.com/physics/stopping-distance

Mr. Powers, Thank you for your contribution and testimonial! Wow you have a 5 spd manual VE real cool! Should i buy another Toyota vehicle it will be a manual shift for sure. How long can these cars realistically go... I ask myself that rhetorical question from time to time with this VE Corolla I own. I think as long as the engine or transmission doesn't have a catastrophic failure that I'm not willing to repair the car will go almost indefinitely. Have yourself an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Raisanen, Thank you for your kind words. Have an Ablecraft day!

Thanks for your contribution. The voltage setting between B and C and wire speed between 2 and 3. Wire type .030 Vulcan brand. Have an Ablecraft day!

Mr. Eddie, Thanks for your comments. Real encouraging to other's out there who will do this same repair and replacement on a 3.0 Ford ranger water pump. By the way real cool playlists you have! Have an Ablecraft day

Mr. Shaikh5521, This 1998 Toyota Corolla does not have a timing belt it has a timing chain.

Thank you for your comments and contribution.

Clearly you don't have an idea of what's happening here. It's a video on how NOT to weld or do body work. He just forgot to insert the NOT.

Allen, .030. Have an Ablecraft day!

Talusuu2606, I would inspect the serpentine belt to make sure its serviceable, inspect the belt tensioner, and the air conditioner pulley.

Midzification, I know longer own the Honda CBR 600 F3. However, the last communication i had with the owner who purchased the Honda stated that the fuel tank repair was still working. So, i would estimate that the repair may last you at least 1 year. Thank you for your contribution. Have an Ablecraft day!
