yes! it is rather fun! worth it in the end

got some axle stands so I can start taking the car to parts for a respray!!

Today I have been working on The coilovers I got, because I got them second hand and hey needed some maintenance as you can see. (mainly dirt) these are the front ones.

I worked on the rear ones first and came out rather well after scrubbing them with a wire brush and gunk. here is a before and after photo

after doing the rear ones is sanded the old black paint on the mounting plates with rust around it all off to bare metal and sprayed them gloss black
