Project Trig - After 18 Months Away, Is Back In Town! by Mini 360

Got stuck into powder coating some stuff for this over the weekend.

Started by redoing the carb bracket.  Using the oven makes a huge difference to the final finish.  Much smoother and more uniform.

Everything outgassing.

Carb bracket

Its only as smooth as the part underneath.  Should really have smoothed this inlet manifold out a bit but still looks smart and you don't see it in its final position.

Engine steady

Blasted the adjustable lower arms/tie bars ages ago so they rusted up again.  

Blasted clean again

Outgassed and masked. Heres a shot of the detail on one of the arms.

and some after shots 

Really happy with the final finish on everything.  Nice and uniform throughout.

As I say, the final finish depends on the metal underneath, hence this smooth faced engine breather came out pretty good!

Wheels should arrive either tomorrow or tuesday.  Cant wait to see them in the metal
