Looks great, getting old fittings blasted and coated is very satisfying and definitely worth doing, shiny new looking passivated parts always make a big difference.
I rebuilt the suspension on my 911 and had a bunch of stuff blasted, powder coated and passivated. Made a massive difference and didn't cost the earth, a bucket full of fittings, small parts, etc can be plated for about £25-30
Be interesting to see how long the finish lasts when using those DIY plating kits.
Some bits I had done prior to fitting to the car:

Nice work... Will be doing my engine when there's nothing else to do then I will be doing what you did, a bit of attention to her underside... but for now thats a bit of a way off me thinks.

It's good if he's never going to drive it again lol, it will be dirty again half a mile down the road :sad:

i read that last night and thought it was awesome and very anal.. shame to say though that that mk1 probably wont ever be driven again :sad:
The DIY plating will last just as long as getting it done at a platers.. just most people cant be arsed with the process.. do you think that guy would put that much effort into plating that last 6 months ??

the work he has done is awesome... but its now a show car isn't it
while I like a clean engine bay, and this is one of the better ones... I prefer to see one whizzing about on the roads with the top down and the music up!
