ignitors are an S.O.B to polish up.
another job off the list.

[Sylux]

Have you considered soda blasting?

[scott-lee]

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.

[Sylux]

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

hmm, i'll bear that in mind,cheers.

[scott-lee]

not much done,recently,doing bits and bobs,but busy making stuff for mates,again!
exhaust redy for heat wrap now,finished inside of rockers as well. refurbing another plenum,for a mate,just stripped and sanded,at the moment.

[scott-lee]

material arrived for ''custom bumper'' also.

[Sylux]

You're making major progress, Scott

What are those headers? Never seen them before.

[scott-lee]

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

[Sylux]

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

[scott-lee]

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"

[Reece2.4]

most of the time mine is a tarmac terrorist nothing wrong with surfing the streets in style
