Finding more and more things needing to be replaced :)

After sanding, angle grinder with wire brush, and multiple size hand wire brushes ... I'm ready for Eastwood Rust Encapsulator (very seriously endorsed ... GOOD STUFF) spray-on

After one coat of the Rust Encapsulator ... love this stuff

I highly recommend a top grade respirator, this Eastwood stuff is wicked ... i was spraying outdoors and getting light headed, before i busted out the mask

After the Rust Encapsulator, i started to spray the Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black (a day and a half later) ... only took little over 1 can ... I love the way this stuff lays down, beautiful ... had to finish up in the dark with a flashlight like #likeaboss

internals and dust boot looks really good for Calipers from 1989 (Isuzu Trooper II)

Pistons look good enough IMO ...

Calipers all primered (VHT high temp primer) will be ready for paint after 7 days

How did you do your FB links?   I just did this link off a random pic.  Hover over the pic, right button click, copy image location, paste in the ratsun reply box.  I don't think it will work with the thumbnail....you have to have the actual pic open in FB.
