Update time!

Last time I left off that most parts were sand blasted, some in primer.
I continued spraying 2K epoxy primer on all the suspension parts.

Here are the parts in the gloss black topcoat. This is a industrial quality 2K polyurethane paint (Sigmadur 550)

Both primer and topcoat laid down very well, even considering I was painting at low temperatures. I did preheat the parts to offset the cold and to prevent moisture from forming.

Time to start assembling. The new phone that I have doesn't have the same picture quality that the old phone had, which is a shame.
Using part existing and part new hardware. I am using ceramic grease on all fasteners.

Using new upper balljoints and lower balljoints. Here I am pressing in the new Moog 7053KT balljoints.
