back to work again. today I started scratching all that underbody protection stuff off they put on here in Germany. It helps against rust in winter with all that salt and stuff on streets..

One of the pre owners did some "repairs" and covered with bondo and undercoating. well I think I have to replace that section.

Already found a good site for replacements:

Fortunately the rest of the frame is good and only needs to be boxed and some rewelding of the factory welds.

Anyways I'll sandblast the frame this week, finally! Next weekend I'll test fit my rear wheels (18x9.5 with 295/35) and will see how much work need to do on notching rear frame section.

today we brought frame to the sandblaster's shop. I'll blast that thing tomorrow! :thumbsup:
