SILVER Star
Box Rocket, I thought I followed your suggestions on the paint. My memory may be off though. I used Rustoleum primer, gloss black, the bronze, then clear coat.
The bronze is Duplicolor HWP105 Bronze.
Amazon was the source.
I did that same procedure with a matte on my 1st gen’s wheels to get a darker bronze but with a matte clear. I did the same thing on the rollbar but it was much harder to get a lighter coat of bronze evenly sprayed on it so it ended up a little brighter.

Back to 80 series stuff, I finished my oil pan gasket replacement. I figured I’d go ahead and do it just in case it happened to fix the leak that I’m assuming is the rear main as I’m dreading that job. I also tore down the front axle a couple weekends back for a full rebuild as they were leaving birf soup on the ground everywhere it was parked. I knew my axle shafts were grooved when I rebuilt it last so I bought new OEM shafts as well.
Then after removing the original axle shafts and pulling apart the birfs, I noticed this. The cracked side was on the long side and the other side wasn’t too far out from cracking because you can see wear that has created stress risers on the other side of these. New Longfield birfs just showed up, but now waiting on new c clips to install the axle shafts
