Metal Guru

If that were true every panel on the car would be rusting as there's a lot more strain energy in stampings then in metal that was removed by grinding.

that fan need replacing. If it falls apart like some have on here and mine was very close to doing all your work may become a real mess.

Jim,

Pretty sure the fans ok no sign of any hairline cracks or delaminating dont see any huge issue with the pitting once its powder coated should be tickety boo

I think both colour schemes look great...its just which are you more in love with? Mine is done like the 2nd picture...black and red.

Ok so got some of my bits back today, I really wanted to do the fan silver however because of the pitting ( I know Chief I should have spent hours prepping) we felt the finish would look a bit rough and stand out more on the silver so red it was,

BLACK-BETTY

Looks great fella.

Cheers Frank getting there slowly, gave the valve covers a bit of VHT red crackle and fitted new clips for the leads.

Got the injectors back from cleaning today which was a very quick turnaround it would appear they were still in pretty good working order after 25 years although I have gained 32cc/min which must be good right
