RE: Ivan's coupe, [the small stuff]
Minor progress report:
Have finally managed to coax a response from the company that does the bolt coating after a week of trying. They charge €1,35/kg for their P1000 coating with a minimum of €95/batch. To be honest I am pleasantly surprised, but am now considering doing a roundup of a whole lot more bolts while I'm at it.. I can get 70kg done for that price. BUT, it will be even more imposiible to figure out what is what if I do that... I am in a pickle.. I have been at the garage digging stuff from shelves that hasnt moved in 8 years. All bits and pieces of the corolla that need to be evaluated, catalogued, stripped of all brackets and bolts (more for the coating batch). Then I set to work on my front screens. These came back from blasting with only the edges cleaned up (asked them not to go further if there was a chance of damaging them). So I swung a paint stripping disc in their direction for about an hour and a half and ended up with this: Spotted some minor surface rust taking hold at the bottom of one of them so I welded the pitting on the inside up a bit and then left them bare steel until I can get a can of rust converter (to stop what rust the abrasives couldnt reach). After that a layer of epoxy primer is due, and probably some raptor liner on the insides. Made this shot with an overdose of old Toyota's in it that I just had to share: FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |
