Howdy Guys,

A bit of an update on my progress (ive actually started fixing my car, yay), i have pulled the front bar off my car to fix it, and have found i have lots of rust on intercooler piping and other parts, i am to lasy to take it off myself so i want to sand blast the items. Does anyone know where in caberra to sandblast stuff?

Cheers,

I can't wait to get back on the road with a working car,

cheers guys, looks like ill be giving AA a call soon.

on another note, how do you think a intercooler will appricitate being sandblasted ???

Sandblasting removes rust? (Sorry, only time i heard about sand blasting was for wheels and concrete walls) If so will it hurt anything if the rust is on the firewall and surrounding parts?

Theres 2 main forms of sandblasting.

Sandblasting will remove rust but they generally will not use this on panels because the heat produced will distort the panels

Beadblasting is a less abrasive form of sandblasting and will remove paint without creating too much heat or distortion, there will be small amount that may be noticable to the panel beater who picks the car up afterwards.

With my car they sandblasted the engine bay, under panels, wheel wells and door jams then bead blasted the rest. Unless you had huge amounts of rust (eaten away sections of metal) the sandblasting shouldnt punch too much out. If it does though its probably for the best because you'll need it plated anyway.

alex,

how mucd did the enginebay cost to get done?

I have some rust on lower intercooler piping, its surface rust, i jsut want to get rid of it and ill repaint it, there is a couple of braces that i want to get done too, but i wouldnt mind redoing the entire engine bay, depends on cost.
