No, thankfully none got on the car's paint! My heart sank when he told me about it, I was picturing paint corrosion all around the wheel well. I was really happy when he sent the above pic!
Thanks Caketown! I guess when I got the brakes serviced last, they overtightened the banjo bolt and stripped the threads. The shop used a longer banjo bolt, but was worried that it would still leak and it did... And unfortunately brake fluid really damages paint.
Yea this is exactly the reason i try to do everything myself, but i understand that's not always possible, regardless it's a small setback to an overall very nice build. Look forward to seeing more progress!
Brakes came in, painted, installed. Went to pick up the car today, but there's something quirky about the left rear cup so I left it there for them to figure it out. Got some pics though!
Thanks for the kind words!
So the Airride manifold had a faulty pressure sensor so it's being warrantied.
Also, the rear suspension was converted to a true coilover setup (spring is on the shock body instead of in the spring cup) and now the left rear rim rubs on the cup when right-turning into a driveway if I don't slow down enough or if I'm not aired up all the way. That's a bit of a bother so I'm going to have the fenders cut and use a spacer for now. I'm curious what others with air cups have done, though there aren't too many with aircups to provide feedback. I'm prob going to get new wheels with the proper offset in a few months after I've figured out the best setup.
