lol, if weather permits, ill blast the spindles with the big blaster tomorrow, the cabinet, just not that strong....

Im using eastwood chassis black, satin, the finish is awesome, if anyone interested. 12 a can, used 1 can for all the arms, and the plates. and 1 coat for the cross member, before i opened a new can

and no, im not powder coating. its on a budget..... The car will be driven by me for a few months, and maybe then will be on sale...

Awesome progress man, the cookies look tasty! Haha

[Batman722]

Looks a little familiar...



Yours looks better though.

[njccmd2002]

that was the inspiration, if i was taking it down, might as well do it right...

[njccmd2002]

quality of paint is amazing



i dropped it, and did not chip.... (it was an accident)

i got to crazy and.... the struts are nice, but they would look out of place all rusted, and the rest so shiny and new.....





and then these were so rusted, i gave them a change and chance....



will start assembling soon...

That looks really good! I just did something similar, except with POR 15 chassis coat. Turns out its not so bad after all if you buy it in aerosol form. I'm really curious to see how the two finishes hold up because it feels like the POR was a little too expensive for what it is.

[njccmd2002]

for the record, this one the can is 12 bux, i wish i could slap a toyota sticker with the part number, because it makes the crosmmember look almost brand new...

[njccmd2002]

parts ordered..

East wood mkes some goooooood stuff. I service and restore classic cats at work when they are more "in season" and constantly use their auto CAD (factory silver look), underhood black, and tried out some new stuff for a custom 50 Plymouth im building. Its called carb renew. I sprayed the silver carbs and they turned out holley brown color. Its amazing. Its a bit pricey and I usually order only online at work, but would recommend it to anyone who wanys to detail anything on their car, for the people who actually care.

I have not yet used the chassis paint, but after seeing that, ill have to give it a go! Good work!

[njccmd2002]

so finally after so much time, and granted it almost was a rear suspension overhaul, most like, refurbish, the car is sitting on its wheels, i did not remember how tall it was lol...

and say no to RUST --- not a needles car





not bad for a northern car..

and a peak to the full job



i had to rebleed the whole brake fluid, as this was nasty...



so moving on to fixing issues...

i realized previous owner did a temp fog light switch wiring... and while i was there, i fixed the clock spring.



Clock spring intallation is crucial it only spins 2 1/2 times either way, so pay atention, and center....



that should take care of the horn and airbag.

Step 2 should start very soon.

[enderswift]

you refurbished that rear subframe right. No cutting corners, no BS. Just. done. right

Hope to follow you in a year or two

[njccmd2002]

even the sway bar got treated with that paint. it probably at best a 4 day job since sandblasting and all, but juggling life and work, makes it hard.

[Batman722]

Looks beautiful.
Great job

[phrax]

Thank you for posting the seat clean/repair pictures. That's exactly what I need to do to mine. Looks easy enough.

[njccmd2002]

looking at the pic, need to treat the tank holders. it just does not do justice...

[njccmd2002]

so the car's rear has been done for a while,



the engine is for sale, i wont be using it....

it will come out later this week...

will concentrate on front brakes and suspension.... clean the engine bay and power wash the carpet too...

will put a different engine in it...

yes it needs a drop. but not a priority
