Stripping everything off a rear subframe and then dismantling the front suspension and crossmember. Oh Joy of joys!

Hard to imagine a more uninspiring job?

Feck me ...some of them nuts were well tight. :shock:

some of the smaller suspension members are now in the acid bath over nite to de-rust/strip them. Looks like the main rear subframe will need to go off to the shotblasters .

Looking at the complete Polybush kit I see it contains some totally useless items.. Like rear anti roll bar bushes with the wrong internal diameter... Hmmm.. :slap: good job it was cheap. :rofl:

Maybe I will do something a bit more interesting tomorrow, like stay in bed :confused:

you can do my manual conversion and tub change for me, il leave ya 3 tea bags and a pint of milk!

Spent last week totally dismantling a 1994 LWB TT that had only been in the UK for 6 weeks.

By comparison the whole of the subframe etc is just original black paint, not rust at all. All bolts came undone by hand after one full turn of the spanner. Must be a bit of a nightmare if its rusted up!

Yep, I did an NA last year that had been here the same... six weeks.

Makes a huge difference. The stuff Im stripping is off a Jap spec too, but it had been here a number of years.. hence some rust. Overnite in the acid will return it to as new condition tho. Its not deep in the metal only surface. Likewise the subframe, just a light blast with sand will clean it. Then on with the Hammerite.
