      I usually spray everything down with a nice salt water solution to help build immunity in the metals just like you would give a flu shot to a person.  It works wonders!

              Is it a hammered finish? Or smooth depending on the surface? And did you brush it or spray it on?

                You can brush it or spray it on. I brush it on and its a smooth finish depending on surface. It self levels

                            Hopefully getting out today to take the rest of the brake lines in the rear out as well as the rear sway bar. Bought some face shields so I can clean the entire bottom of the car and then re-undercoat it. The kbs/por-15 will be for the subframes/trailing arms/suspension crap

                                  Scraped, sanded & wire-wheeled my way into being the next face of a class action lawsuit for mesothelioma tonight in the garage. Most of the junk is "prepped" for undercoating spray bombs. 

                                  So much dust x__x

                                  im actually pretty happy with how not shitty the underside of this car is thanks to the previous leaky m50. All the hard mounting points for everything are actually in good shape

                                    Got around to cleaning up the front subframe I bought from ray and the rear subframe that's been in my car for forever. (I have reinforcements for both) I will update with photos shortly.

                                    It was another awful & dusty day but hopefully it will be worth it.

                                    this is how I pushed the power flex bushings out after snaking some wd-40 in between the subframe and bushing
