So I went and bought a sand blaster, glad I did too! Wicked job! I bought some aluminium grit abrasive in 80-120 grit.
I then took it to the throttle bodies! I warn people use googles when doing this!

Need to buy some new m5 allen head bolts from screwfix tomorrow!:)
I also found out what the problem is with one of my hubs, so thats sorted. Now I just need to press in one new one and i'm done! Have sent my dampers away to gaz, so should hear what they need in the next few days!
So I decided today to have a clean up of the bodies, and remove all the sand remains etc. I soaked them overnight, then used carb cleaner and an air line. There is no remains of sand:)
I bought some new bolts from screwfix, allen head m5 jobs.
I've fitted the LET yellows and trumpets as a temp measure. I want to go back to carbon fibre trumpets when funds permit and every thing else has been done.
Linkage on, cleaned and parts renewed that needed it.

Lucky for me at events I take the filter off, and to run the nitrous at full horsepower I ran shorter lines. This meant my airfilter was in the car rather than in the engine!

Looking like new-ish. Really happy with the outcome!

good progress mate :thumb:
at least your not letting the fire stop you
Can't let it beat me, taken longer than expected but have spent alot of cash upgrading everything!
Shes comming on very well dude.
the sand-blaster has done a really good job cleaning up those parts, looks like new now - nice to see it going to live again..
How much was the blaster?
And be careful not to leave any grit/sand/bead/shot in the work!
