ITs going to Altered Image coachworks in the Strood to have the shell straightened out and repaired  Before     at POL last year   Mmm smokey http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qq08qbXhh3k | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 978 Location: Walderslade, Kent | Ah of course, rust!     The block, cleaning. Flywheel and clutch gear removed. All being powder coated or refurbished.      We bought some Bilt Hamber Deox C powder that you mix into water, to make a rust removal tank. Simon used the coil pack bracket as his test piece;  After: (Around 48 hours of being in the tank)   | ||
