After getting the first axle out, had to cut the brake line there since it was so rusted into the soft line union.

The tabs expired in November 1996, meaning that they were bought before November 1995 most likely. So this car sat for the last 20 years.

The metal in the bushings all welded to the bolts through them, so I had to cut each bolt at least twice to get it removed from the axle carrier - annoying!

Corrosion on the center iron, it's porous like a sponge from where coolant must have sat and ate through the nitride coating and rusted the metal away. Time for a new center iron I guess!

Stock suspension bolt collection for the FB with new lock nuts and flat washers in place of the standard hex nuts and lock washers. This should help eliminate binding in the suspension components since there won't be as much pressure pinching the mounts together on the bushings.

GSL-SE full suspension setup removed from the parts car. I used to dream of owning a full set of these, I'm so glad that I finally do!

Electrolysis setup, grounded to the tank and 2a positive power to the long bolt through the wood to collect all the rust particles.

First I cleaned the tank twice with the POR-15 cleaner/degreaser and now it's sitting with the metal prep in it.
