However, I'll be replacing and modifying a lot of panels, so I should be able to get to any remaining areas not cleaned already.
I'll use a combination of methods to remove any remaining rust.
Tonight we measured my car, and tightened down the subframe based on the best frame/ body alignment we could calculate. This is so we can work on calculating the suspension and axle size. Of course, it'll come off again, and have to be re measured again....
I'll have to take a few days off as I need to prepare (clean) the house for guests coming later this week. I should get back on this Sat. I'll work on preliminary assembly of the front suspension, as well as building a mock up tire in cardboard (cheaper than buying the real tires at this time as I have extra cardboard and hot melt glue). Then I can work on calculating the max width for the axle that will fit in my car.

I'll be re-attaching my sub-frame this week. Any pointers on where to measure so that I know everything is square?
Thanks
