24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Finally got my bits back from the powder coaters and to say I am chuffed is an understatement! They have cleaned up lovely and are properly coated in satin black. And the wheels have come up great too..... Now all I have to do is fit it all!!!! Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Bit more detail of what went on... Cleaned up the mounting points for the rear beam while I had chance as it was off. So ground them back to clean off any rusty patches, then treated all the metal with a rust remover, then sealered it all with underseal. Thought I might aswell while I had chance.. For those people that think the rear beam on a VR6 is the same as all the other corrados, I have definitive proof its not the case.... 5mm wider per side and the size of the rear beam bushes is totally different, let alone the mounting points for the brake regulator. I have to admit to having some help today..... she was able to get into all the little awkward places I couldn't ;) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted March 22, 2012 She'll be getting oily marks on mums best towels before you know it. Certainly a full day there Jay. Bet you're done in now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Yep I ache from head to toe, but its worth it with the beam sitting in place. Tomorrow evening is assembly of the rear beam bits, brakes etc.. but I have hit a stop on fitting the suspension as the concave washers are too small to fit the Konis....
