Hi all,
I’m in the process of restoring my 1973 2dr and at present I’m looking to start fitting the new suspension before the engine and gearbox go back in.
However before I fit the new shocks and springs I would like to paint up the axle casings and would welcome any suggestions on what’s best to use to try and give that ‘from factory’ look?

Thanks


Dave

Hi Dave -

I'm restoring a '93 two door presently & have used POR 15 on the rear chassis so far.
It brushes on & "self levels" giving a superb finish - I used their satin black.
There are pro & cons of paint v powder coat (the latter not an option for me), but I'm glad I went down this route.

Good luck !
Paul  Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

+1 for POR 15 - it's cracking stuff. Current: FF Westminster money pit

RRS 3.6 TDV8
FL2 TD4

thanks guys I'll take a look at that. Do either of you plan on clear wax oiling your vehicles afterwards?

I used just POR on wishbones previously and more recently POR and covered that with Bilt Hammer Dynax UC
