I asked a few mates at work about what their chroming was like and apparently one guy had his door hinges done so poorly that he needed to take them somewhere else to be re chromed... Heaps of discolouration from bad acid or something like that.
Everyone else said they were good though

Just give them a call for a quote to see the going price maybe?

How did you get the Chrome off the bumpers etc? was that through sanding/ wirebrushing? paint stripper?

I'm super interested with this thing
It has the potential be such an angry little beast ha ha

 

[FMX_22]

sweet . ill get some updated pics tmorro mate. also i snapped a bolt (1 of 6) that holdes the door on how should i get it out? i need to do it b4 my dad relises and gets all pissy lol

 

[Norway]

If the stem of the bolt is still poking out a bit you could try getting some vice grips on their real tight and get it out that way.. don't spray any inox/wd 40 on it because that will make the grips slip off

If it's still in all the way you might be able to get it out by drilling a small hole in the centre and then bash a torx key in there with a hammer, then you should be able to wind it out


Pretty dodgy I know, but there's not alot you can do
Easy outs or more trouble than they're worth

 

[FMX_22]

hmm yer i think it snapped off clean so i carnt do the first option . i might try drill it out then re tap it bloody rusty boltes i was going slowly working it out and then snapp bloody things proberly havent being undone since they were put in there 47 years ago lol

cheers for the help mate +reps
