Last one for today I promise
As a side project, I cleaned and POR-15'd the front subframe and LCA's:
I was getting a lot of moisture in the air when running the air file for long periods of time, so I put together some water traps and bought a desiccant dryer for the compressor. I now have an official "contraption" in the corner of my garage:
I didn't have a 1.8mm tip for my paint gun and another one would be about $40, when the gun was only $49 to start with. I had a 20% coupon for Harbor Freight (aka Harbor Fright or Horror Freight) so I bought another 2 piece gun set for $40. The first gun had worked quite well and these are supposed to be pretty good also so I figured I'd give them a try.
First coat of primer is on the engine bay: :icon_bigg
I'm thinking I may shave the square holes that are used for attaching the fender liners as well and come up with a different way of attaching them, perhaps by welding studs in place of the holes and using nuts on the liner side.
I also shaved the hole where the 7M power steering lines passed through the radiator support.
I forgot to mention the dolly I built out of 2x6's to roll the body around on in the garage. It really helps when you have limited room to work with.
