jonnyfox 52 Posted September 9, 2016 That's a picture sent to me by Badger Anodising in Birmingham. Top man, he's done quite a bit for me. The aluminium is generally arriving scratched from my fabricator being cut from off cuts (no qty). Much like the divider due to general wear needs to be sanded so I use a 180/240 followed by a 500/400. He can strip but there's no point unless the prep work is done as the new coating will still highlight all the imperfections. Basically the material needs to be perfect before anodising. He can however bead blast and polish on site buddy. He did my uprights earlier in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyfox 52 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Made a start on the headlights. I bought new lenses, springs, clips and nylon wing nuts off EP. Rubbers and seals were fine. So new headlights, indicator lenses and badge. I have the blackouts vinyls on order with load of other gear from DeRoure.

The Cakes 36 Posted September 9, 2016 I wouldn't want to ask what this has cost but I'm sure it's worth every penny and more! I wouldn't want to drive it, think I'd put it the living room and polish it daily. Brilliant! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyfox 52 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) :-) I may have gone a bit OTT. It's not been too bad though getting most stuff done locally. Engine, paint and dampers are where the cost lies. Edited September 12, 2016 by jonnyfox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
