Another weekend of cleaning stuff up. First off, got the crappy remnants of the PO’s roll cage off the roll bar. Forgot to take an after shot, but thankfully his welds hasn’t little to no penetration so the spots cleaned up awesome.

Then went after the windshield frame as the sandblasted again couldn’t get it clean. This time I used the eco friendly paint stripper in conjunction with a heavy wire brush cup attachment for my angle grinder, that did the trick.

Then loaded up and off to the paint shop. Now I’m really getting antsy. Just a waiting game now. Grrr
