90' f150 xlt lariat 4x4 5.8L rust restoraion PICS!!
Rust restoration pics are in my GARAGE please comment if you have any suggestions on what I should do first or if you want pics of anything else I haven't yet posted...I will update with pics as I go through the process of rust restoration the poor mans way with only a angle grinder equipped with cut off wheels, sanding dics, wire brush atatchment, your basic body hammer and a buzz welder(cheap120v flux core mig welder) and a whole lot of time on my hands!!
I am also putting new quad shocks on the front suspension... maybe new coil springs and bushings not sure yet, rear shocks, frame rust removal and rust proofing with por-15 or chassis saver, new rear brake line along rear end, replacing any other rusted out lines, tune up(plugs, wires, coil,fuel filter,air filter, oil/tranny/diff/transfer case fluid and filter replacements etc,bed removal and install w/ replacement of the two middle crossmember sills and partial bed floor replacement... we'll see what I can fabricate for the sills, boxing in some of the frame due to rust deterioration/weakening, reapiring rear wheel arches using rust repair panels, repainting whole truck matte black with just a cheap spray gun and air compressor, ****load of prep before paint(body filler,sanding,glazing, priming etc., re-doing exhaust with either true duals 2.25" or 2.50"out the rear, catback 2.25"exiting side, or 3" single exhaust exiting in front of the rear tires, temp guage fix or replacement, aux. tank replacement, engine diagnostic obd1 readings and fixes...then I'm going to add the nerf bars roll bars brush guard skid plates and 33" tires.......now thats a run on sentence.lol. I know this will take awhile, but I have nothing but time due to being a construction worker in Michigan (Laid off in the winter). I will get this project done though, believe it as you see it cause i will post pics of the progress, enjoy!
