Frosty Suspension

[cougarbob]

Started to look at my Frosty suspension at last

Got a bit carried away

Subframe looks worse than it is just needs a little brushing up & painting

Removed subframe underneath looks good

Frosty suspension & other parts before treating

I have now removed the same of the Ebony ready for treating also tank straps & fuel pipe

Ebony underneath not to bad either

YOu have been busy Bob. That fuel filler pipe is a good indication of where they "go". Hopefully i'll have a similar pile on the floor come summer.

Now that is what you call getting carried away!!!

Nice to see the job being done properly

Most of it is getting an acid bath to clean it, then getting Galvanised.

The fuel pipes are getting blast cleaned where required then I will cover them with ?? something dont know what with yet.


Any idea's

my next project is refurbing a couple of rear subby's.

don't think they will be to that standard, but something close would be lovely.

I have a brand spanker waiting to go on, don't see any point in painting it, the existing one is 11 years old, doubtless the car won't be around in another 10 years so the subframe will probably see the car through to the scrapyard. Good work Bob.

Like the blue one too, looks a good job.

Hi Rich,


The Blue one's are droidgordie42's mate

but hoping they look as good as them

 

[Richb]

I knew that mate, I am sure that your's will look just as good, did it take long to strip them down to what we see in the photograph?

if you get some durable lacquer on it too it'll make hosing it down/wiping it clean easier
friend has done this on his Mondeo

Not sure possibly about an hour or so

Thanks for that tip Tiff

Here is an update of parts Galvanised

Fuel pipe after sand blast cleaned

 

[add_issan]

Very nice, wish i had the time and somewhere to do this to mine.. should out last the car now..

Slightly OT, but I wonder whether someone, somewhere is going to go to this level of preservation for the whole car.
