Looks stunning, now get your big red thing stuck in it!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Nice job, but what is the lug on the lower side rail for? - a jacking point perhaps?

Words of advice.... any part you don't want cosmetically damaged, wrap up in something protective like bubble wrap.
Powercoat is tough but the finish gets scratched quite easily and looks a bugger in the sunlight.
The rollbar is a prime area that will take a lot of abuse whilst you clamber over the car during assembly.

Couldn't be arsed
Also, quite a bit of the chassis will be seen as I'm not trimming out the interior.

£140 for the powder coating. Also had it blasted which cost me £140 and the blast guy transported it for me too.
Was originally using a Zetec until I figured out it was too good a way to wee money away when I had a running Pinto engine in my donor.

where did you have it coated? little tip ive found helps keep the finish good .if you have the kit give the whole thing a coat of 2k laquer it ll
help stop the stone.chips ruining it . i built some gates years ago and they lasted 2 yrs before starting to rust . blasted re coated and laquered
and still good 4 yrs on
