A badly listed eBay add led me to buying these bits for £60:D
88 rt mono frame and a gearbox plus a few more useful bits:clap

That is a mess - just as well you've got a Degreasing Bath and a Vapour Blasting Cabinet :clap.

I was looking around in my storage unit at parts that I've accumulated over a few years and with the purchase of the frame I have most of the bits to build some thing:clap
Out with the trusty angle grinder:D

It's a good result Bob,
The internals are pretty nice,was half expecting it to be full of water:cool:

That's even better.

I rebuild Toyota Landcruiser Transfer Boxes for Club members . . .

Sometimes when I open them up they are clean inside:

Other times they have been 'Off-Roaded' and are full of mud :eek:.

Its a relief to get a clean one :thumb.

Not as clean as beadblasting! :)

That's strange, as it was bead blasted first:blast
Fuck me I must have wasted £10k on equipment,:comfort
I should have asked for guidance on here first:D:D






FYI,
Aquablasting cleans and seals the surface,leaving a soft sheen that is not powdery and Absorbent like dry blast,so it's far easier to clean and will resist corrosion for longer,
However it will not remove paint deposits or excess corrosion so a dry blast unit is also needed
 
Recommend you check the frame straight before going too far with it . . . .

The phrase "teaching an old woman to such eggs" comes to mind. It might be an Irish saying but I think Mikey is well able to suck eggs.
