Kaelyn cleaned up all the parts with Acetone while I bead blasted and prepared for paint. The upper bearing just needed to be cleaned and repacked with grease. Just like new and likely 100% better quality then any replacement.

Shot everything with reduced SPI Epoxy primers. Only wanted enough for the grip on the metal, nothing more.

We went to get lunch while the epoxy dried and then to the PO to pick up the next batch of parts. The new sill plates came in. Kaelyn installed these all by herself while I prepared for the B5 paint.
