i dont know how long u plan to keep ur ride, but if longer dan 5-6yrs, definitely coat da metals with motor oil and spot spray the black finish on the subframe were it rusted, etc. it is a night/day difference.
rusted bits i use a wire brush, blast it clean with either contact cleaner or RC car motor spray, den use duplicolor engine enamel (matte black). |

I am excellent, thanks for asking. The Ben's science grade slipped to a high B... other than that straight A's. He'll bring it back up though.
