Year later and progress on the car is limited, but progress with a lot more in life has been pretty good. I guess last summer I didn't really lose interest in the car just a nice realization that there are much more important things. Anyways, I'm going to friggen Puerto Rico this summer from June 6th - Aug 16th. So the car seasons gonna be lame but I'm still gonna get this stuff done so when I'm back I can have fun.
I picked up a used suspension setup out the junkyard for 90 bucks. Hotchkis front/rear sway bars, eledbrock LCA's, panhard bar, torque arm and strut tower brace. Shitty powdercoating flaked off as always so I tried sandblasting last year, fail.
This year some paint stripper and a home made pressure washer = epic win. Got some paint stripped off some parts today got a few more then its time for some gloss black rust-oleum for the suspension stuff and dull aluminum for the strut brace:
Stuff worked great, brushed this stuff on waited a few mins then blasted it off. Easy as hell! Screw my sandblaster..
mmmm rustttt
