Okay guys. I finally have some time to give ya fellas a frikken update!
The front beam (sans shocks) is assembled, except for one thing. the nuts.
I only have one nut on each side, so i am quite perplexed at how this actually holds into place. But luckily, I found another 2 nuts, 1 for each side, but I dunno if this is right. Maybe Bruce can tell me how this works. And also you can see the greased bearing is exposed. I know caps are still to go on, so is this also right?
Now, those backing plates. what. a. biatch.
Only did the front ones. the oven cleaner stuff worked well, but I was very impatient and I was stressing if it would eat away at too much, so I only managed to take some off and then tackled it with sandpaper, rust remover and then Hammerite. The brush on stuff. I prefer the aerosol version. It is all shiny and black, but being a perfectionist, I am still not happy. For now this will do. But down the line, when the car is driving and all and all, I would still like to get them done properly, like soda/sand blasting and powder coating.
Also having trouble with the one tie-rod. it just doesn't want to budge when it gets to a certain point. I will wait till the other oval gets here so i can see what that one is like.
By the way, here is the other one (in it very stripped condition)
I am told it is Horizon Blue in colour. Cannot tell because it look so dirty.
Now, this one has the VIN plate. My current one does not.
So, I dunno what to do.
Anyway. I was stressing big time about being hella broke because of this and about transportation of it. But it is currently en route and will arrive this coming Friday!
Then I can get dirty and REALLY start to work on what will be one SIIIIICK bug!
And just as a bonus, I took this with my phone and uploaded it to Instagram. I like it, thought I would share with yous guys
