[Tom_]

Finally i get ABS sensors out,so tomorrow i get parts to sandblasting...Today a little bit clean and grind sleeves and using rust removal,and some money saved on important parts...

[Tom_]

Bye, Bye, rusty parts. I hope,that when u come to see me again,u will look good enough to get worked again Now its time to paint the exhaust and other parts and than worked on the bottom under the car.

Wow, didnt expect to see a split open subframe
Its great to see the attention to detail you are give it, and its interesting to follow it.

[Tom_]

irishs2: Thank you mate. I try to give best care what i can...I think that its the best resolution to cut out subframe,because of good sanding inside and protect from rust..

[Tom_]

I ve got a mistake, there should be 5 000 zl, not 3 000zl .

Today a paint ss exhaust to black.When the exhaust was new,he was shiny,but after years, he get some dirt and loose his shine.And painted cv joint metal..

Thank you

Yesterday i stripped a brake and fuel lines.Brake lines looked very rusty,and it was a time bomb,when they get broke.Fuel lines looked little bit better,but i decided to keep them out too.

[Val]

wow, great progress.
In Latvia you are not allowed to weld subframe, so it would be MOT fail.

[Tom_]

MOT fail?What is that? I know what is fail but not MOT

[Tom_]

Almost all parts painted with primer,except springs and subframe
