Default Still getting dirty

I got the rear end pulled out week before last. I am going to pull the leaf springs off the axle along with the brake calipers. Started working on cleaning the original rear end. It is still bolted to the pallet and is about 75% wire brushed. I haven't ever had a car down this far before. The 78 Macho underside had been cleaned and painted before I purchased it. This is some nasty work but I am very hopeful the finished product will look nice. I got most of the transmission tunnel cleaned this afternoon and the floor boards to the front edge of where the front seats bolt in. Planning on going back and do more wire brushing a few areas a little more before I do a final wipe down and lay some primer down.

Stay safe and well!
