Ok just got back today from my friends. I finished prepping all the rust in and aound the engine bay. This fri he is going to start to primer it then bondo it.
I also added the correct longer bolts to my front A- Arms. i had the stock ones in and u could only get 4-5 threads of the nut onto it..eeeek. i also sandblasted one turbo header and ceramic coated it black. this was a test trial.. and it worked out great. we have base numbers off the headers, downpipe and the turbine housing when we had the car running a few months ago.
ill see how temps have dropped after the coating.
ok here is the header in the over warming up after being sandblasted(it was 27 in the garage.
And here it is all coated with Techline turbo x coating. this stuff goes a long way. we filled the mini touch up gun about half full. tested spray patterns on cardboard a bit to get a feel of the gun then we coated the header. nice coat on it. we still had tons left .
