Before and after bead blasting strut! as promised
Here is the before and after shot of the strut assembly before paint. I stress that there is no paint on the strut on the right, nor on the housing bead blasted at the same time just behind it. I removed the spring perch with a dremmel and then used a grinder to round it off a bit. Sorry the picture is so big but I was in a hurry this morning.

What is your plan for springs? Are you going to use a coil over kit?

caps
If anyone is remotly interested in this post i am also having a box of parts sent out to have them regalvinized. This will include the srut caps you see in this picture. I am only doing this as it was that way to begin with and i don't think it will cause any problems, not to mention look great.
Just an after thought

Tell you what.. My offer is wide open and you have the choice. You can come up and blast them yourself or send them up to have them done. Just let me know in advance.
BTW I would have the same problem your having now. Tough decision.
