Painting Engine Bay!
So I spent more time this weekend on the car (or what's left of it). After some deliberation, we decided to remove the torsion bars, k-member and basically the whole front suspension. Essentially, the car is now an over-sized wheelbarrow. :cheers:
So on the advice of other members here, I used a propane torch and a scraper to remove the undercoating under the fender in the wheel wells. We got the majority of this done over the weekend and about 2/3's of the sandblasting. I figured while we were at it, we might as well paint the whole front-end. There's still quite a bit to go through with the wire-wheel and some more blasting, but if all goes well, I'm hoping to have everything painted and hopefully have the suspension re-assembled during the Canada Day long weekend. Once the front is done, then I'm going to take my torch and scraper underneath the car. :toothy10:
The fun continues.
