Lovely Chris

The scratches and marks are from the barrel plating process on the OE stuff

Beautiful. and that A/C compressor looks brand new!

I can assure you it's not :naughty:

It was in pretty good condition to start with to be honest.

Some of them have worn bearings that rumble...

:mitsi: nearly £200 with VAT for a complete clutch pulley assembly

£24 for a bearing :naughty: They are staked in the pulley, but soon press out. Small bit of bearing lock on them and they don't go anywhere.

This one was fine though.

Will post up the rear alloy subframe later.

The worst powder coating I have ever seen. Way too thick and under cured.
A big mess.

It was stripped in the acid tank at the powder coaters I use. Tried at first with my dry blaster at 100 Psi and it would not shift it. Just kept moving it around.

Rear cow horn and tash bar were the same. Acid stripped. I have blasted those tonight and given them a coat of POR15. A satin black top coat will follow. A new set of ralliart bushes will be pressed in.

:smthumbup

Cam wheels are zinc plated then passivated with olive drab.

olive drab is the the choice of Mr Mita... due to his fetish of this coating i am almost out of it.

Bad news is I can't get anymore of it. :handsup: So I'm hoping he ain't got too many more bits he wants doing :crackup:

 

[Dave-Cee]

Your rear subframe is like new now Chris will get some pics over the weekend when I have some room. :smthumbup

 

[Dave-Cee]

Actually I have so you better save some :lol:

Big job of olive plating just came in. It was already on its way before I sent out the group message that I was stopping the plating etc.

Customer said I could send it back, but it's here now so i will do it and he's a good lad etc.

I will save a bit for you :naughty:

 

[Dave-Cee]

Good to hear Dave ... it looked pretty crap the last time I see it ! Perhaps the worse powder coating you've ever seen ??

I couldn't blast it off even at 100 Psi it just kept moving it around. Powder coat was under cured so i had to get it all chemically dipped to get it all off

 

[Dave-Cee]

Fantastic mate. The old codger has done a good job too :lol:

:crackup::crackup::crackup:

You forgot my 60th you ****

 

[Dave-Cee]

Ok Chris asked me to post up about his Brembo's I restored for him.

1st off I can't take any credit for the actual finish as I didn't paint them.

I sourced them from Estonia, they came off a 43k mile Evo 7. They don't put as much crap on the roads over there in the winter as we do over here, so they were in very good condition. Even with the postage they were cheaper than anything that gets sold over here.

Chris supplied me with a full set of new seals, bolts and washers.

I bought the proper paint from BCS, and the high temp decals. No need for much detailed explanation it's all in the pics.
