If you make arrangements with them I don't mind if you drop your stuff off at my office, I can take it to bowmanville and drop it off, pick it up.

Can't wait to see it painted. I'd go all blue but that's just me.
I'd heard that the Ford tranny fluid was best too... can't say for sure though I've got 163k on my tranny and in ice cold weather it spits out gears.
i paid $300 plus hst and i thought it was a good deal.
timing belt has to be changed, so not a problem.
but missing starter motor, broken serpentine belt pulley, all rusted pulleys, few other stuff cannot be used on my 2000.
takes longer buy this and that because i am not working these days.

went to canadian tire and found this. rust converter.
it is meant to convert rust to primer surface but i don't trust it.

Where I work, I work near Don Mills/Eglington so if thats easier to get to than any of the other powdercoating places then you can drop it off there and I can bring it to the flashfire coatings place. Since its down the road from my house.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - konafocuswrc - 03-09-2012

i just painted over ford blue.
looks better in person, this colour is like baby blue on my monitor.

Looking good leo, can't wait to see the motor all painted up nice. I find use a wire wheel on the end of a drill works nice for freeing up rust, noisy and messy as hell though lol
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - buzz2.0 - 03-09-2012

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - gfxfocus - 03-10-2012

i have wire wheels but i thought intake side is hard to see, i didn't take much time sand down to bare metal.

Not sure exactly where you live but this place is in toronto and i've had lots of things done by Guy and was very impressed http://www.quyscoating.com/?page_id=143 also if you are ever in the London area right off the 401 http://www.hgpowder.ca/ cost's me 30 bucks a rim for powder coating so i can't imagine the valve cover would be too much

Good call - but Quy is actually in Brampton 10 minutes from my place (Bovaird / McLaughlin area) ... 30 bucks a rim is an excellent price (assuming good quality) - Quy is 3 times that much and more if you want a clear coat.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - konafocuswrc - 03-12-2012
since kevin recommended shop is not responding to my email quote.
i am going to contact quy to see how much they charge.
hg is way too far from me.

His facility is somewhat impressive - he powdercoats massive shelving units and he has a couple of booths you can drive a truck into.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - konafocuswrc - 03-13-2012
