"I got the rear end out of a Cougar (the only thing on the yard with rear discs) for $300.  The crossmember is pristine, but there is light rust on the arms and heavy rust on the knuckles.  I got some Permatex \"Rust Treatment\" which seems to be just a conversion, and a spray can of flat black for application 24 hours later.  I've already begun spraying with the Aerokroil, since I need something that super-penetrates to get between my rusty crossmember and the frame.   \n  \nMy British TA32 Franklin sub frame alignment tools arrived as well, and test fit quite nicely; just wish I got one of those kits off eBay and save some cash, because it looks like some of the brake lines are corroded too. \n"
