some svx work done

well last saturday i spent 7 hours or so on the svx doing major rust removal from the spindals and brake componets this process included sand blasting,,wire brush cleaning and navy jelly, after the rust was removed i coated it with rustoleum black paint, so now it looks factory new,

i added cross drilled sloted rotors,, new brake pads and painted the calipers,

if you guys ever buy a car from up north ask for detailed pics of the under body !!! LOL

the odometer just turned 24,000 on it =<

Sound like it looks great. Did you take any pictures of the finished work?

Did you consider using a rust converter instead or in addition to the rustoleum?

Kinda like alodine? I know we use this on aluminium pieces before we paint. Don't mess around too much with steel, mostly fiberglass and Al.
