That's tedious work... great job!!
Yes, very tedious and dirty - thanks! My wife thinks I am mad!
Q for you...and others: what would you suggest to do with the wishbones, brackets, mounting area etc. They are all heavily caked in grease, dirt and some rust. Thinking of a rough clean, remove all the loose rust then just coat with my "rust stop" primer that can be painted direct to the rust, and may be some black tremclad after that?
This isn't and never will be a show car, just want to stop (or slow down) further deterioration and make it look "decent". Sand blasting would be ideal, but I don't have one and some of parts that need it cannot be removed.
The part I showed I just put in my ultrasonic cleaner and then wire brushed the loose crap off.
