Does the place you use for powder coating, do xylan coating

Is that non stick coating like you see in pots n pans ?

When I'm home I'll ping him a message.

Yes, it can be used on nuts an bolts with no adverse effects on torque, if you ever watch retro power on you tube they use it on on loads of stuff,
 
I'm familiar with this technique, we did this with copper plating on A4-80 bolts on a reactor I built.

Might be over kill for a car.
 
Quick few photos of last weekends work. She can smell the tarmac now.

Subframe with one arm in and fitted.

All things being well arm will be in tomorrow and wheels down end of this week.
 
Fantastic job guys. Can I ask who you use for powder coating and what underseal you use? I'm in the early stages of the same job but outside in the driveway...😢

We take the corrosion back to bare metal and seal it in with hammerite under seal & waxoil mix. Other surfaces we clean and seal in.
 
Nice big update chaps. Car is now down on the ground ready for her test drive. We started her up and she sounds sweet.

Last arm we built today. We noticed we had some alignment issues. Closer inspection showed one of the brake calliper tabs had a slight bend, must of been dropped at some point. Few gentle taps and she was back.

only a few snags to sort now. Water pump and thermostat. Take her for a test drive and get the tracking done then finally the MOT.
 
Last few jobs done today. Test drive complete and tracking done. First job of the day was the thermostat and water pump.

Another great job from ZedShed HQ:thumbsup:
 
Definitely going to stick something in the breakfast baps to slow them down……. Or tempt them down to Bognor with butties, cakes and coffees to get mine done 😂😋😂

only joking …. They have enough to do !!
And in reality…. I keep getting sidetracked
But mine needs to be done as I have booked a hotel for @t-tony ’s run next sept :whistle: And it would be nice to take it for that cruise.
 
Located in my home village Malc. I didn't travel far.
