With any luck i should be able to finish cleaning the suspension and move on to cleaning the brakes and rebuilding them by Wed. Brake paint on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Then I can work on cleaning the engine until the parts i ordered come in for the suspension.<\/p>\n<p>kit comes in 5 weeks or so and i need to have a few things done before it gets here:<br \/>\n1) brakes cleaned, rebuilt and painted (two tone black and red)<br \/>\n2) suspension rebuilt with new boots\/grease (hit it with a few coats of clear coat before assembly)<br \/>\n3) Rust removed from wheel bearing assemblies (picked up chemicals for this). Then paint them black.<br \/>\n4) Rust removed from all the bolts, paint the bolts black. (might not stay but worth a shot)<\/p>\n<p>Engine<br \/>\n5) Clean the engine<br \/>\n6) build the wiring harness (extend what needs to be, remove what i don't need)<br \/>\n7) Paint the engine valve covers and intake (like the picture i posted before)<\/p>\n<p>8) remove the rust from the parking brake assembly.<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ran to Part Source at lunch and picked up some parts.. 4x Brake rotors 1x Front Brake Pads 1x Rear Brake Pads 1x Set of new plug wires. $750 over the original budget already \ud83d\ude42 Let the games begin.
