Starter Motor Clean Up and Paint

Time in Garage: 2 hours

I ventured out into the garage yesterday and spent a couple of hours cleaning up and painting the starter motor. I opened up the inspection ports and looked at the condition of the internals. In an ideal world the starter should probably be sent out for a rebuild or a new high torque version purchased and installed but for now I am going to reinstall it. I think there is some life left in it and I will monitor performance as I go. When I started the engine a few years ago the starter worked fine. At least it will look nice for the reassembly.

I spent about an hour a few nights ago figuring out the parts cost for the front end rebuild on the spare chassis. Still daydreaming a bit about a '57 rat rod.
