    Springs and lift question.

    I have read about every lift thread on the site. I am still not sure on some things. Does the m1009 use 1/2 ton springs? If not what spring? I read that some say to use the 1 ton spring. Or do they need the 3/4 ton? Are they the same as in size? Are the 1009 springs the same as the civi...

    You're correct I will have to sand it off and re do it. It is a sealer coat only. the glass has just starter to show wear. I have worked with glass before too. I built a Manx like buggy and had to re glass the whole body as it was toast.

    I have 4 areas where the fiberglass is frayed, i mixed up some resin and brushed it on. 1 hour later it is not hard. It should get hard in about 5 min. I must have mixed it up wrong.aua I took some hardener and brushed it over the resin ,it is getting harder now.

    Well the cheap black primer backfired on me. it reacted with good pri mer. So i have been sanding and stripping the areas that cracked. I hope it does not react with the new sand paint I ordered.

    I am about 1/2 done with the dents. mostly small dings left. I would be ready for paint for sure. Too bad I don't have any paint yet. I still need to get new rubber and seals for the doors and back window. I also need the thresholds that hold the door seals on.
