The cleaning of all the rusty parts is going well.Only the rear axle and front leaf spring brackets to go and then the painting and powder coating bagins.

Who ever did the underside of the car before simply left it all bolted to the car and sprayed the lot in situ so there was under seal on everything.I plan to totally restore the my car bit by bit as funds allow me. Suspension first then the engine/gearbox and when i save enough money the body. I'm try not to keep the car off the road for too long at a time as I've waited for years to own a charger and i want to use it.

I powder coated all mine as you are, and that was 10+ years ago, it still looks good, just needs aquick wipe over, now and again

That is why i like powder coating it makes keeping a car clean much easier.

All the cleaning is finally done and the painting has started. There is also a picture of the new brake lines. Even with a sand blast cabinet it has taken ages to clean and de-rust all the parts. I have also rebuilt and painted the master cylinder and rebuilt all the brake cylinders and painted them. I will put all new seals in the rear axle before i reassemble it. All the other parts will be dropped to the powder coaters on Monday and I should have them back a week later and them i can start to put it all back together.

Been working on the car all day and got a load of jobs done.Replaced all core plugs in the motor. Fitted all the new brake lines back onto the car. Put the new oil pump and pick up tube in and knocked the dent in the sump out. Removed the fuel sender to find out why my fuel gage wasn't working and discovered a hole in the float. The old oil pump was Knackered as you can see in the photo.
