        got shot ,bead and aqua at work.should cover most things. to be honest, i don't have much in the way of refurbing left to do. its all cleaning and painting now. then put it back together (gulp)
        and the odd bit of custom work.

          Soda is much milder than those you name. Would suit your small polishing bits (like delicate electrical).

          But if you're at the end...no point

                    You're making major progress, Scott

                    What are those headers? Never seen them before.

                      headers from my 96 lump.bloody solid old bits of kit. impressive condition for age.
                      can't really see them being the original ones.

                        Yeh, they looks strange, what with the split flange. But they've got to be better than the stock. They're awful.

                          they are stock.came out on a certain year(s) as opposed to the cast ones.
                          better clearance for the steering column,so im told.
                          sadly,its looking like a one step forward,two steps back, turn of events.
                          all the pulley i refurbed,have chipped,probably when i've been transporting them about.paint finish was too thin. most i will replace with Ali parts,but some i cant make myself,so its back in the sandblaster!
                          will do them in the same brake caliper paint i used before,as thats tough stuff,and wont chip.

                            Not words I bandy about often but "WOW, that awesome" just what I'd have loved to do if only I had the brains, the stuff, the time, the money and the place to do it in, looks great and take no notice of those c###s who always come out with the phrase "it need mud"
