    That sounds a very good price. wonder if they have a dip tank setup there would speed up the process alot and make it cheaper.
    I know i wouldnt want to blast and powdercoat them for £20 a piece.
    Interested to see how they come out, keep us updated.

    I agree Martin. They are a pretty large company doing a lot of industrial stuff, so I think they must have a tank and it will be something they just pop in the oven along with the big stuff.

    Fingers crossed!

    Update on the headlight pods - they are back from the powder coater, and.. wow! What a job. Stripped and coated, and he even bunged/covered all of the threads for £40 for all 4 parts. To say I am pleased is an understatement.

    Can't wait to fit them over the next few days.

    That is a good price and looks like a decent job. Looking forward to seeing them fitted.

    Thanks guys. All fitted last night, didn't take too long at all, which was a pleasant surprise after years of working on an old Lotus...

    I used someone's tip to mark the covers before removing them to that you can put them back in the exact same place, and that worked a treat! Only minor fettling needed.

    I love this little car

    Hi All

    Another little update as I have been doing a few others bit. I never like seeing the rusty casing of the air intake fan in the engine bay, so decided to get it out, give it a solid rub down, etch primer and top coat. It's much nicer now and it wasn't too fiddly to do.
    Urgh

    Next up, I managed to sell my old snow tires from the Land Cruiser I sold over the summer, so had some "car" money and decided to bite the bullet and get new tyres and have the AZEV alloys refurbished before they go on.

    All wheels have been swapped with the original tear drops while the AZEVs go for dipping and powder coating - hoping to have them back at some point next week! Pics to follow....
