picked up the solid axle for the build.its out of a 79.5 first gen. it hasbeen sitting out back of my buddies house for a while now but what i think i need is all there so its worth it. plus i got it for free so thats even better. first thing i ask is how do i get the thing looking clean and good to go. ill be putting a new diff in , new bigger brakes, armor, covers, rebuilding the whole thing so how do i go about cleaning this beast?
here are pics.
