Booster back from refurbishing

Refurbished calipers

Just got my calipers back from King Kaliper. Completely refurbished with all hardware included. I love it!

Rockers!!! Wow!!!

This morning I cut out the passenger side rocker. Ugly beat up metal covering the original rocker...horrible site made worse by the "shade tree restorer".  The outer rocker is gone, so are parts of the middle rocker. Surprisingly enough the inner rocker is not too bad. Couple areas I need to address but not too bad. 

Body works

Going with RustBGone to the rear end. 

Cracked Burma steering box

Going to try to have it welded. 

Working on the doors

Worked this door with RustBGone this morning. Front and back. See the difference.....the outer skin down to bare metal.

See the comparison with the next door before treatment. 

Deconstruction continues

Today I removed the front and rear calipers that will need re manufacturing. Also removed the gas and brake lines. The PO had the battery installed on tr trunk, an idea I'm not completely opposed to. 

Removing everything getting ready for blasting underneath. I'm leaving it a roller but everything is coming off. I can't wait to start putting back together thou!

Checking the engine further

After the cleaning I took the valve cover and manifold off. 

Time to clean up the engine

"Shade tree restorer" at work

Here's more from the "shade tree restorer" cover up. Good metal over bad metal....I hope the PO didn't pay for this! 

Floors

Ok...the PO had a "shade tree restore" who welded a flat piece of sheet metal over the original pan on the driver rear floor....unimaginable! Well, grinded the spot welds down and poped it out. The floor underneath definately needs changing except this time its going to be done right.
