When Space Is At a Premium

Here's what I had to do when painting my subframe.

It stood on its side amazingly well all by itself.

Notice what little overspray POR 15 gives when sprayed

I love this POR stuff

Check this stuff out. It goes on much better when sprayed.

The only thing that can rival this stuff is powder coat.

Though it's about $130 per gallon I think it's enough to cover my whole car!

All Completed Components

Here are all the major suspension components that I POR'ed.

I gotta say, they mean it when they say "self-leveling"

The bushings are Energy Suspension brand polyurethane and I had them pressed in at my local Pep Boys. They charged the cheapest around here at a nice $100 per hour for a grand total of $215.

OUCH!

I Sure Have a Lot of Neighbors!

You know, you never really know how many neighbors you

have until you start a project like this. Some keep stopping by

when they see progress like this and some just like

to hate all the noise my air tools make.

Hmmm... Oh Well.

Screaming for Assembly!

I could swear I hear these pieces yelling at me...

Put me back together again!!!!!

Boy am I itching to do it.

A Thing of Beauty

Yeah... whatever!

Tell me this don't look like powdercoat or paint!

Nope... I didn't grind down one single original weld or mistake.

Just sandblasted it with my spot blaster (yes it took forever

with a spot blaster but it's all I had) and sprayed on POR 15.

I imagine this looks as close to new/original as the

day it was manufactured.

Money Shot

I love this shot. I'm going to try to recreate this shot

after I have all the suspension components installed.

Ohhhh... I'm so close to setting the car back

down on its own wheels again.
