Bandit's Supercharged IS200 take 2 :-) - Moley - 15-01-2019
Bandit Cheers
The Moley bars went through 12 tanks of solutions,including hot water, acid, de-scaler, zinc protection, electro coated, baked at 200 degrees, then powder coated and baked at 240 degrees for 40 mins? so should be well protected now :laugh:
Well I'll give you mine sometime Chris for the same treatment :kiltsmilie:
Looking good mate and well done getting the boot for such a great price :thumbup1:

Think i'm going to book a few days off and start to get the engine bay sorted? Need to remove the charger and the pipework so i can get it polished up, clean quite a few of the parts up again, re-polish some of the parts i did before and try and get some sort of colour coding into the bay so it all ties in together? :blink: looks quite a sorry state at the moment? :Chair:

Being as the Supercharger is staying for a while longer, i thought i'd start to get it polished up?
Only done the one part today so far? but looking better :thumbup1:

Do most of it on the bench polisher now instead of using a drill matey? The wheels on the polisher are just a bit bigger version (8") plus it makes it easier to do, as i don't have to hold the drill or clamp it in a vice...
but still using the same compounds and the drill kit that i linked to ages ago as well.. ...:thumbup1:
