Cleaning rear axle, leafsprings etc.

Took the rearaxle away from under the car. 40 years of rust....took me a few days to take it of with a steelbrush on the grinder.

DIY frontspoiler & grille Powdercoated & rearaxle with Owatrol

All the hardware from the rear suspension has been powdercoated. My homemade frontspoiler is also powdercoated and the result is very nice. The rear axle I treated with Owatrol. Good stuff.
