I'm getting the front subframe, the top and bottom arms and the tie bars shot blasted then powder coated silver! Gonna look tasty! :cool:

I might respray the arms and bars yellow tho to add a bit of contrast. I'll get some yellow spax shocks too! :grin:

Ok back to my car then! :thumbsup:

Finally got the rear subframe off, although couldn't get the radius arms off!

Its got a lot of surfacey rust on it so i may get it shot blasted before giving it a good paint of rust preventative and waxoyl etc then spray it silver somehow to match the front one :wink:
