now that i can park the car inside, i pulled off the front subframe, and attempted to pull off the rear subframe/dif carrier, but the bushings have seized the rear on. Once those are off, i am going to attack the underbody with a grinder.
Once the underbody is free of surface rust and undercoating, i will paint it.
i will also be disassembling the front and rear subframes for paint and replacing the bushings.
Once that is complete i will strip reweld and paint the engine bay.
