MK3: ADZ to AMK to BWS(R36!)
Had a go at a carbon clean recently. Due to the design of the head, it’s practically impossible to do a decent job without using a media and compressed air.
Huge thank you to Elder/K1llz for the port adapters - would not have been able to do it without him!

Used a variety of tools.
Cheap sandblaster unit and compressor from Sydney Tools.
The blower attachment supplied with the sandblasting kit is not suitable, so got a long reach blower off eBay.
Borrowed a wet/dry vacuum.

Used a 18/40 walnut media went through around 2.3kg (one bottle) I was pretty wasteful and didn’t have the best catchment set up.

Got all the fabrication stuff done over the last little while.
Dropped some of it off to be powder coated. The rest in aluminium will just stay as is.

Sneak peek of the front end with the new fuel cell.
The shifter and handbrake plate was welded into the car for ease/strength. This has just been rust proofed for now.
Eventually when the car gets fully stripped this will all be painted properly.

In the meantime. I’ve gone through every nut and bolt to check and mark tight, borrowed the wot box from the R32 so can at least have some sort of launch rpm assist on the slicks and some other general bits and pieces.
