Hello,
i'm in progress to restore a 914/6. The car is stripped to bare metall and i found some rust here and there, but not as much as expected. Fortunately the longitudinals are as well o.k. . All four fenders are disassembled, so i do not have to worry about them. That's not the first 914 that i rebuild, but this time i'd like to make it very clean. Now here's my question: Does anybody has experience with media blasting and the pros and cons of it ? many greetings and "luftgekühlte grüsse aus berlin" Benno |

Make sure who ever does it for you has experience in doing car parts. I'm looking for a new rad cradle for my 68 Impala because of this. Wrong pressure and blasting medium can make a mess out of the nicest parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
