I'm way bigger than an m10. Or, an s52 for that matter. If I make the car robotic, I can utilize that weight savings.







F'n rust FTL!!!



At least it's not in a high load/stress area.









Test fit.... Ok, Ok, I'm just a bit nancy. (antsy)







We don't need no stinking towhooks....





What's next you ask?
















More sanding, then primer...

LOL, I have seen this before and never knew that, always thought... what if they will someday need to tow it

[nando]

nice project. I'd love to do something like this - my car has always been a little here, a little there.

for degreaser, nothing beats brake cleaner. I get the industrial stuff free from my buddy, works great as an insect killer too. ;)

[Brinkley]

I'm def leaving my hooks in. I'm sure there will be some reliability problems at 1st when i get my project going AAA had better be ready! yedg

Why are you sanding it all down? I can understand the engine bay, but not the front arches. I think it would make more sense to hit the areas not in the engine bay with rubberised under body coating. It is a bit more resistant to chipping and works as a sound deaden-er.

I did use new ruberized spray on the outer arches as you called them, you just havent seen new pictures man. Your use of ruberised makes me think your a Brit. Us yankees use a z in there.
