The only reason i left the brake lines on was because the guy who is going to be bending up the new stainless lines wants to use the ones that are there as a template. They didnt impeed on the blasting in anyway and i they will be just cut out when the time is right.

Rear and front end suspension was left in simply make it easy to move the car around. Again, it doesnt create to much of a drama in regards to access anywhere. I dunno why i didnt take the handbrake out... i should of because the car will not have one when it is put back together for IP.

I seriously can not reccomend this new plastic bead blasting enough. Its amazing and the big difference is that it doesnt heat the metal up at all meaning that there is no damage to panels or body in anyway at all.

I looked around a fair bit and asked a lot of questions and i have to say that if you are in Sydney, the guys at Austec (ph 97552044) really do know there stuff. Yes it does cost a few dollars more than sandblasting but the difference is like chalk and cheese.

Its good to see the young bloke in the pictures lending a helping hand. I can just see him thinking (i can't wait to drive this car) This is where the next generation of datto men start
I remember working on my first few datto's

Top Job Peddler.

Thanks Peddler

My boy has an LJ in need of some love....we'll see if the budget can stretch to plastic beads - might be a little rich on this build.

I'm not nasty as to put him through the pain of sanding the whole car himself though....
