What did you do on your 70 series today? (18 Viewers)

So how do you clean those fenders underneath the battery trays? It's corroded the paint and dulled the fender with grime. Just wondering anyone if anyone has ideas on cleaning that while the engines out. I believe the front most tray is the OEM tray, and the back one was the add on tray.

If it was me, i would just take the trays out to clean under them.

That’s what I plan on, should have worded it better. What would you use to clean up the acid/corrosion?

I would use some 120g sandpaper or a wire wheel. Then some rust converter with a primer in it. Another light sand, then primer and top coat. A 2 part top coat (even if brushed on, being under the tray) is the most impervious to acids etc, although thousands of cars have single pack.

New badges and truck in their new home. Trucks done about 200 odd KM now. No major issues apart from an oil leak which hopefully just needs a nip up.....hopefully.

I have had good luck with POR-15 paint.
Damned expensive tho'

Rocking the "TV side" of the 70 I see.....

It's the only photogenic side I have.

The correct brushbar .....
The current one will be added to the "used parts" inventory.

What does the current one fit?

What does the current one fit?

To my knowledge it will fit all of the earlier 70 Series. It's identical to one that's on a BJ71 that's currently in the shop.

What was wrong with the "incorrect" brushbar?

It was incorrect.

















Sorry, I couldn't resist. The current brushbar is for a "narrow nose" Cruiser and didn't fit properly.

Put in a stereo, which surprisingly wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! But now I know that my speakers are blown.

Installed a new washer bottle. Old one looked like it was going to turn to dust if I touched it...

Also got a new battery hold-down bracket to replace the makeshift one that was on it when I got it.
