Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

It may well be a little outdated, but Instagram is only for showing off imo, how are you going to learn something you need to know from there? The catalogueing function of a forum is lost with social media.

Enough nagging about everything being better in my day though.. I'm moving to the desktop to post up some pics of my powdercoated brackets 'n stuff.

So, as I was saying: I picked up all my brackets and suspension arms etc from the powder coaters today..
The color was a bit of a shot in the dark since I went there thinking to get them coated a flat RAL graphite gray, but the man kindly offered I could pick anything I like, including metallics, so I went for something resembling gunmetal metallic.
It looks a bit brighter in full light but it has a nice sheen to it and makes the parts look really good IMO. So I'm very happy with this, even though most of the parts will rarely see the light of day on the car..

The rear axle will need some extremely thorough cleaning before I dare mount any decent ring & pinion / LSD in there though, I plugged everything off for blasting but enough dust found it's way in there, and if I learnt one thing it's that blasting dust wreaks havoc on moving parts.
