It's been a minute, but some more progress
It's been quite some time since I last got into the garage. I haven't done much cause work got the best of me and I was discouraged with having a broken thumb. I painted the brake booster and began taping the engine bay for paint. Yes I still have the drivers side to do. I took a dremel cutting wheel to clean off some light rust where the strut tower meets the frame rail. Then sprayed it with phosphoric acid. I have left the engine bay raw metal for a few months with only the phosphoric etch to protect it in order to watch for stability. Everything looks good so I am getting ready to prime and paint and a little fibreglass for the welds. There's a little rush cause I want primer done before it gets too cold. Another project I ended up doing recently is a hitch riser that I have had for 3 years has had the paint fail. I stripped as much as I could and gave it a week in a 50% vinegar bath. Rinsed it and scraped some more paint and then tested the phosphoric acid on it
