Mitsubishi Space Star

Still, automakers sometimes wedge-themed space :)
Judge: Chevrolet Starcraft, Honda Shuttle, Toyota Starlet ...
Ford generally stuck to the space: Galaxy, Aerostar, Orion, Taurus ...
And Mitsubishi is not far behind - captured from space star - welded metal Space Star ...
The design, of course, difficult to find a spaceship ... But grinder to cut something with a touch of space and stars always nice :) Anticipating the arrival of a tow truck the following description of the situation on the road:

"In general, washed up on a wet road into oncoming traffic and was hit in the right rear side of the little sliding back ...
In principle, the right rear wheel is spinning, but with difficulty, and his slightly arched at an angle, so on their own scary to go somewhere. »





Client confused, of course, right to left ...
Here - go to starboard, in principle, not terrible ...



But the left - really scary.



Wheel scratching wing



A salon can peek through a crack



Well, not only the back part of the body affected by the oncoming lane ...



He came to us not the whole star, but rather two-thirds of cosmo-star
Short body





If you look back - mash notably, body style left-back did not even guessed



The trunk lid "scratched" rear seatbacks



How could survive rear left pane - inexplicably!



The inscription «Space Star» a wave



But the car still knee - the plant and if this is to cut the wing on the lid - even go!



Donor we dug quickly, a week



Cut in the back of us right from the suspension



By mid-pillars



And two inches from the factory weld on the bottom



Curl up with a donor all that will stop welding, the hub of the wheels leave



Ready for a replacement!



Winch dragged to the stocks



Unveiling iron bouquet :)



Parse rear compartment



And see how the left wheel and the reception which followed the wave chute compartment



Fasten tightly the car clamps on the stocks



We throw off everything that hinders our work on the bottom, starting with the muffler



And ends with a bare bottom



Cut the window, throw off the remnants of optics and ready for the back of the bodywork





Close interior tarpaulin take grinding wheel and sawing space!



Sawing ruthlessly, indeed, fly space stars!



Cut and outer metal and amplifiers



The bottom sawing directly in millimeters from the factory seam - to make then dock with the donor seam



Finish unpack, everything is held by a thread, look at the lengths of cloth ...



Bang and a huge ass falls!



Cuts are beautiful on the body



Eliminated the entire tumor, all wrinkled and crooked





Pulls out a crumpled ass, here is a place for the future of a joint tailgate



The stocks we remove the severed limb cut off directly with the bat in the trash suspension



Her only way to scrap ...



In the air, hang remnants of cosmic star



This is not the star, but the capsule is some alien



Docking of the complex UNION APOLLO :)



To deadhead slipway just dragged Apollo - his right, too low orbit ...



But for the right connections - we still need to work on the hydraulics ...
Since we have clearly detected the curvature of the opening rear door, roof and power rear wing



One part of the body fix, and are putting in another 10 tons of hydraulic force



Try on the donor ...



And hold out again ...



Try on again ...



Connecting orbits must be matched directly on the nugget



Those. we are talking about millimeters instead of plus or minus 5cm :)



On the bottom here reamed holes - a factory welded point, we cleared them and sealant prepared for docking



Jacks for connecting a new asshole height



From left to put it mildly - not all smooth



Auntie is not aunt ...



Tolley ass is not the felts Space-old from another galaxy ...



Tolley slipway we are not yet fully worked - rolls hydraulic column on the left side and pull!



More sprinkles and kiss boo the trunk lid to the gaps at openings align





We catch crocodiles millimeters ass tightened on to the cosmic body



Do the right tack welding



And you're ready to scalding - all clearances received, everything is closed!



That is what we have prepared the window for the external metal
provarivaniya


And the inner metal track then



Cook a solid outer seam metal



Handle it inside anticorrosive



And brew window inner metal sealant are passed along the seam



The same algorithm is repeated on the other seams
That boil amplifiers threshold (where the staff hole is available), then treat it as anticorrosive and heat sealing window of the outer metal



The seams on the outer metal racks we clean the grinder to smooth the surface



At the bottom of the boil point, welded amplifiers, reproduced inside seam sealant is factory



And also outside seam sealer, just cover it with plenty anticorrosive



Keyword - abundant



When dried up anticorrosive - tank and collect all podnagotnuyu



We put the car on the suspension and the wheels are no longer curves





And we begin to prepare the entire perimeter of the body to paint



Jumped on welded rack spatula putty



And almost all of this putty vyshkurivaetsya forming a completely flat surface
That's what the mountain of waste shpatlevalnoy dust removal after surgery wing "zero»



Development unit (black) to pass on the details, revealing the remains uneven



Ready to paint



ANTIKOR cover internal seams

​​



All stained vnutryanku





Gruntuem whole body and add-on parts for outdoor painting



And its beauty body



External parts



Such as the boot lid with the two sides



We hang on the body otkrashennoe attachments



Cut off the tumor waiting Metalworkers recycling







A star of the space we collect, glue in glass



And thoroughly laundered







Well, there you have the result of the downed space-star'a:



Or as if from outer space to park on the earth asphalt





























I'll be back!
