So, what does $100T2 do then?

This:



Before is on the left, after is on the right.

Nothing like a boring Friday night at home with a disassembled rear-end, 80 grit, and an electric sander. 22 years of grit, grease, and filth sure makes for a lot of work.

 

Evening well spent!

 

Yours didnt even look too bad before! Before I got mine sandblasted they were absolutely gross, you couldnt tell they were ever black. Seeing those I wish I had taken a picture lol. I think if you clearcoated those theyd probably actually look prety nice, whats the plan? are you going to paint them?

 

Man....

You have way too much time on your hands.

It does look pretty though! you gonna put mirrors on the ground when you park?

 

Nice work man. I did my spare tranny and rear end too, but I used the angle grinder with a wire wheel on it. Takes that junk off in no time, and shines it up like its been polished. Keep up the good work, you'll have a "new" car in no time!

 

^^ lol

Looking good.

 

Yeah, I'm going to paint them a nice gloss black. Same with my rear-end, calipers, etc. I'm going to repaint my blue shocks red to match the RB springs, and to break up the black a bit. Other than that, just trying to get her as clean and nice as possible.

 

I don't have the patience for all that sanding and grinding, that's why I built my own blast cabinet. As cleans as your's started, less than 10 minutes in the cabinet, and I get to stay clean and not breath all the dust.

Good job, and you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands, are you the hausfrau?

 

groovy, you doing anything with the rear end itself? i'd like to sandblast mine and paint it all up since ya, the rust on mine looks almost as bad as your old one did. hehe

 

Nein, ich bin nicht die hausfrau.

I just found out my air compressor will support a sandblaster, so it's go time as soon as I buy that.

 

I painted the rear-end with high temp paint, but now I'm thinking of blasting it and repainting it.

 

LOL. My German is 30+ years old, and I actually understood that.

 

I had to think about it... It's been 17 years since German class.

 

Alright, I have a sandblasting gun, 150 pounds of sand, and two hours to kill. Here goes nothin'.

Pics to follow.

 

Man Hurry Up Your Taking Forever.....

 

Goo! I wish I still had my shop, With my two hours to kill before work its spent playing halo, and riding the longboard

 

Lol. Machen Sie einen sandwich fur mich, Weibchen

Sandblasters are invaluable. With a couple hours plus some various polishing devices I got my wheels looking brand-spankin' new.

 

It's not Weibchen, it's Liebchen.

That sandblaster was kind of a disappointment.

 

Explain.

 

wunderbar!! nette arbeit

 

^^ cute work?

its been 4 days sence deutsch classe fur mich, meine deutsch ist nicht gut, meine englisch ist nicht besser.

so why is the sandblaster a dissapointment?

 

that was make a sandwitch for me bitch, not sweetheart. hence the weibchen lol

 

It kept clogging... I don't know what the deal was. I guess I need to sift it better before using it next time.

 

If it clogs in the tank, it's moisture, if it's the tip, I use a window screen to sift mine.

 

It kept clogging in the pickup of the hose. I think I need to sift it better.
