Yup, those are the GR2's and I agree with you Bill, they probably were just "dusted." I guess that partially explains the low cost lol. I ruffed up the k-member/control arms and got off any real chunks or flaking before I painted them. I used this chassis restorer which is meant to go over rust/bare metal and its suppose to match factory original undercoat minus the rubber. I guess I'll find out in a couple months if it does really stop rust lol. I'm confident it will, its really strong stuff and was recommended by the auto body supplier I use. As far as the brakes, bigger brakes require $$$ lol, so they'll be the next project to save up for. I'm a poor college student trying to graduate so all in good time. I did however replace all the calipers/rubber lines within the last 3 years, and the front rotors and bearings within the last year so they all function to their capacity at least.
