PA rust is bad...they like to use salt here and if not taken care of it will really tear things up. Check my 4Runner thread if you don't believe me.
Peeling...sand and prep...I have not painted anything as of yet. The original paint on the brake booster is starting to flake a bit that's all.

Yeah, I bet... I had a friend from Philly who had a SWEET Celica(it was a TT-Hypo 4....S-type? Really rare), and his rotted in like 5 years! DANG that car was fast! lol.
BTW, I was just joking about the paint, etc., Lumpy! lol. You're a resourceful guy(and a GREAT ROCK CRAWLING GUIDE, I've heard
) and I'm sure it will run well and do what it's supposed to do. I just wanted to try and come up with an original paint scheme, etc.

I think fish oil would melt my brake booster...
I've been thinking about getting one of those computer chairs with the extra lumbar support or at least a cushion, for the past year or so I've had this slight soreness to my back when getting up from my chair. I think it's probably because I've spent probably more time in the past 20 years sitting in front of a computer than I have sleeping (what does sleeping in a computer chair count as anyways?), in possibly one of the worst slouching positions imaginable: seat back down all the way and leaned back, seat bottom tilted back as far as it goes... Makes me wonder if my back is sore, does that mean my wrists are next?

Hey Lumpy, Magnusian,
I hear ya, and I manage, Lumpy, despite having broken my back when 22 and herniated 4 discs to 6mm inward, hahahaha,....wait, not funny, ...but anyway, >>> and my degree is in Food Physics, minoring in Geriatric Nutrition/Biology, and I'm VERY pro Fish Oil....(as long as you're taking the right ones, ...No, Kirkland isn't the same, hehehe). I also take Glucosamine Chondrodine, amongst a couple others. However, EATING these things is by far the best way to get them, if possible. I do eat Wild Salmon, Free Range Chicken and other great forms of Omega-3 and 6 all the time, including Omega 3-6 DHA Eggs . HELPS GREATLY! Bottom line is, I'm just a mess, lol. I also had a temporarily fatal wreck in 2002(I say that because I died, twice, and was in a coma for a lil while, lol). MIRACLE that I made it out and that I'm as active as I am. In fact, they(you know, THEY, lol...No, the Orthopedic Surgeons.....whom I wont let touch me, hehe, they say things like "and you do this and that and this and that? WHAT???? HOW?").... When I tell them the type of average day and recreational life I have, lol. I think the knees is just hereditary...my dad, uncle on mom's side, mom, grandpa on mom's side, grandma on dads side....you get the point, ....ALL bad knees. Trust me, if I DIDN'T supplement some, I'D BE IN TROUBLE! I really want to avoid surgery if I can, but eventually, I'll probably join the ranks of mi familia! lol.
OOOPs, sorry for rambling, ...I can talk food and such for DAYZZZZZZ, lol.
Wishin you the best, Lumpy...GET'ER'DONE! LOL.
PS> That wreck? It was in Blanca, that white 4Runner I've posted in the "Pics" threads..... AND I LIVED! lol. Wait till you see it, I'll find the pics of the wrecked toy.(Tear, lol) That's why I bought ANOTHER ONE! HAHAHA
Magnusian, ..HAHAHAHA! Brake it? nahhhhh, it would 'LUBE IT'S ACHING JOINTS!" hahaha
