I started to disassemble the front end to rebuild.




I also removed the drivers door because it was rusted and filled with bondo.




The passenger front finder was damaged and I was not sure if I wanted to fix it or buy a new one.


Both finders are off.



Got her down to the core support.

That is going to be some fun right there!

As I tear down the front I run all the nuts and bolts through a rust remover and then paint.




It's small stuff but saves money with a little paint and rust remover.

[DC-Monster70]

Everything removed.

What rust remover did you use & was it scrub free or did you use some elbow greese?

[DC-Monster70]

You can see the core support bushings are bad and had to be replaced. So I ordered body to frame mount and radiator support bushings form Energy Suspension. About $60.00

I used Evapo-Rust, and it worked great, no scrubbing. I bought a small bottle for $13.00 and it did all the small parts in a large coffee can. I would drop the parts in per batch so I could paint, bag and label each batch according to where it when. Labels like "Finder", "Finder Under Skirt" and so on.

The process would take about a day to remove the rust.

The front suspension looked like crap. The mud or whatever it was took a lot of pressure washing to get off.

[DC-Monster70]

I started to fix the small things, cleaned and paint.

Before.


After.




It's amazing was a little paint will do.

While cleaning and painting I found out the the rocker arm bushings are bad and needed to be replaced.
