Sways all dried and put in the trunk for now. Got the 1st coat of POR-15 on the front & rear subframe, rear trailing arms, subframe plates & lollipops. Will most likely put two more coats on everything eventually (still need to do the opposite sides of them)

Got everything coated in por-15
I will be top coating it with some enamel to get some areas and for more protection
Pics or it didn't happen
This stuff is a pain in the ass and I'm glad I'm done
Next step is ordering parts

Looks good! My front subframe and other stuff will be getting this treatment soon. What's up with the coil overs?

Got the topcoats on all the stuff today. Went with a gloss enamel. Put a shit load on it. Also under coated my car, it probably won't dry correctly. Also took the rack "apart"
It looked dicked at first, but it was fine after I cleaned it up. Added some grease on the teeth, took the ps block off back off, drained the crap, added more crap, worked the rack back and forth to get the excess out then put the delete plate back on
Getting the struts ready for coils.
Also whoever put the inner tierods in hulk-moded them. Vice grips + hammer + swearing and they barely came off. Lock plates were all farked by whoever installed them. It sucked
Also aligned my door and fender so it didn't look all borked
Also found some evidence of assholes in an air box(not my vehicle)...After I found acorns in my glovebox and kick panel.
Set a bunch of traps and left out some coolant for them. I hate rodents

Diff cover is now a color

Son, I am disappoint.
Didnt mask the hardware, diff tag, or the vent tube
I could sand it off maybe. I didn't clean up the hardware so it's not going to stick well anyways.
Couldn't read the diff tag either
Oh
And it'll be under the car
So

Isn't that way more work than taping it off in the first place? [emoji14]

Compared to taping off individual bolts a vent tube and a diff tag?
What was the oem color the bolts should be?
