Well this isn't really a build, but I have some progress photos of my car in work, and I figured I'd consolidate them into one thread so anyone can look on while I do stuff to it. My car is a 1994 Berlina Black with about 110,000 miles. Runs great, recently I did my TB/WP and transmission fluid.
Right now I have the passenger side rear suspension apart because I'm doing my CV joint boots. So I took the opportunity to do a little bit of cleaning while I was in there...
What's that? All the rubberized undercoating in the wheel well.
I scraped off the majority of it without much trouble, using a plastic paint stripping scraper. Here is a shot about halfway done. It's getting there... this is pretty stubborn stuff once you get down to the end.
95% there. The last 5% was the most time consuming, it required lots of scrubbing with a stiff nylon brush, and liberal use of my pressure washer. I didn't want to use metal because I didn't want to scratch off the nice coating underneath.
I cleaned up it real good, masked off the suspension then sprayed a couple of light coats of black paint-in-a-can to finish it off. It's not this glossy up close, it was just the angle of the pic.
Reinstalled damper, all done! (1 down, 3 more to go... ugh!)
