Ivan's coupe: seeing RED

[Ivan141]

I'm taking them to a belgian company that specializes in surface treatments. Have a few bolts coated with that stuff (from an acquaintance who had all his bolts treated for his Ford Granada project), and they just refuse to rust even though I've had them loitering about the garage for years.
The coating is called P2000, the 2000 stands for the amount of hours of salt-spray testing it can endure. Yellow (Cr6) passivated zinc coating can take maybe 450-500hrs.

I would guess I have about 3kg's of brand new bolts in the batch, and perhaps another 3 from your and Dennis' old parts Celica, even some from a collection of old Volvo bolts I had.
Bolts break and you can never have enough. Just getting new ones is not an option as automotive bolts are often quite specific with the wide collars and captive rings, hard to find and expensive.
Everything I'll have left is sure to come in handy around the garage.
