I sent the wife off to the sandblasters with my inner front wings, front grill, downpipe and long pipe from the exhaust. I wanted to see if I could use these sections of exhaust to save some money.

All came back within the hour for a cost of €60. It would have taken me a couple of days to clean off the rust and paint. I am so glad I found this little Portuguese family tucked away in the back and beyond 😀

The grill is not in bad condition. A little out of shape but no rust at all. Here it is pre blasted.

And afterwards with a coat of primer to protect if from the damp air.

And the inner wings too
