The large blaster is auto as such, in that you set the timer and it gets on with it but we also have a coarse hand shot blaster and a fine hand shot blaster both of which are completely manual :thumb:

i like em dirty :d

my brother is very keen to see what you do about the turbo. he has done the usual N/A inlet, front mount and up'd the ful and boost to 24 psi so needs a next step

Any pics of said vehicle burgo? What box and clutch is he on?

Turbo details to follow in the near future as i've already started working on it but i'm not quite finished yet - and there are a couple of options :)

Great work, most interesting thread of the year so far!

Should be very well done going by the XE Saloon and the 3dr track weapon

Evening all here is a small update on my progress in preparation for the long weekend - enjoy :thumb:.

The last of the bits out of the blaster needed blowing out and tapping

The lower arms had some hard to get areas so i had to use the coarse hand blaster to sort them out

blasting in progress

Then i finished all the nuts and bolts by hand in the fine hand shot

And put them in a bag with some lite grease to stop them from rusting in the mean time

The engine mount got the same treatment - it came out looking brand new

Then i primed up all the other bits
