I'll post it up here on Monday.

I gave him a load of stuff to do, that's why I got such a good price. You will need to do all the prep yourself, but worth it.

I've got some more bits going soon as I get my blast cabinet sorted, and prep some more parts. I will have some other people's frames etc to go with mine, to make up the amount. I'll let you know when, and you can all stick your stuff in with mine, to get the best price.  ;)

They are a family run firm, and they all live about 10 miles from me, so I just take my stuff round to their house in the evening, and collect it when they're done. You may have to wait a while though, so best not to use them if you're in a mad rush for it  ;)

if they do a good job its worth waitin for you cant rush perfection can you , if i was to use em do they like the stuff to be cleaned first ie if it starts life with paint on it.

The better the prep you do, the better the finish will be. You're best off taking it back to bare metal yourself, and rubbing it down to get the finish you're after.
