I thought you were going to use por15?

[scheides]

I think powder coating anything possible is a great idea..we have a great local and reliable resource for this and cost is low enough to make it worth it.

Looking good man!

Exactly, while it's out might as well just get everything coated that I can.

I did considered por15, but just decided to use Rustoleum. Don't think I ever said that I was 100% set on the stuff.

I've been doing research to undercoat my civic and apparently por15 is pretty spendy and needs a lot of prep, for something that you plan on not seeing any salt it looks like you went the right way.

This is super random but I had a dream last night about you and your car. You got the trans and rear end in a rush to make an appointment with Shane and you threw it in and turned up the boost w/o changing anything else and made 599...you were flipping outwith excitement!

He didn't mention you are naked throughout the entire dream.

Lol, Scheides you must have gone back and read posts 578 - 586 or something...

Anyhow, no huge updates, but I did get 2 coats of paint on the rear diff. Looks much better I think compared to the old!! Going to give her one last light coat and call it good.

Haha no homo!

[Halon]

Shot a light coat of black on the wheel hubs and rear axles to clean them up and prevent rust. Put the last coat of black on the diff. And shot the areas under the car where I put the rust inhibitor. The paint already feels pretty solid so I think it'll be good.

Depending on how much they end up quoting me for that rear subframe, I may listen to you brownman and just shoot it with this stuff too, I'm liking it so far!

I also just purchased a pair of new rear brake rotors (slotted, zinc coated) off ebay :)

[Halon]

Took the rear subframe to AA Driveshaft in Anoka, they were able to press out the old bushings. They said getting the new ones in may be tricky though. Amazing how hard it is to find a shop that can do this stuff.

Anyway, here some pics. Old bushings out, new bushings arrived and will be going in once I get the subframe cleaned up / coated :)
