and trap the rust in? that sounds like a great idea...bed liner is nothing like rust proofing at all...do some homework

ok i'm done now...fucking meet me in person and talk to me like that, i know don't know anything about any cell phone or anything so what the fuck are you talking about. You're the one whose lips are flapping now so maybe you should take your own advice

and whose part of this fag clique, they might like to confront you as well as those are some pretty strong words.

and get fucked about the streets to race in, I've seen you do highway pulls with people on the way to the track before, so seriously, unless you're ready to back everything up you say, smarten up!

and about rust work, unless you sandblast the whole underbody of the car it would be a waste, sanding down rust does nothing

Small update as I've been quite busy at work but its coming together...



Better shot of the front spindles that doesnt appear all orange'ish



Front Hubs & Bearings





Misc Hardware for the front end... nothing goes back on rusty!







Ball Joints for the front control arms



I will hopefully be priming a few areas on the under body tomorrow and then painting them Friday so that I can re-assemble the front end Saturday morning as I have a wedding in the afternoon to attend but regardless the front end will be together with the rear end stripped down by the time Sunday is over so I'll have more updates by then...

Ciao

Went in this morning briefly and put a few coats of flat black on over the primer. Paint was just starting to dry up so pictures dont look the greatest but you get the idea...











While I was waiting in between coats I decided to put the front spindle assemble together



Will be Coating a few areas tomorrow with gravel guard/under coating and depending on how long that takes to dry up I will either be installing parts late Sunday or early Monday.
