Lots of hard work is the short answer!

Bolts, brackets, fixings etc were all electroplated. Just wished I knew the place that did this before I rebuilt the engine, otherwise I would have done *every* bolt. The worst part about electroplating is getting a box back full of stuff all mixed up and having to sort out what goes where...

Suspension arms and antiroll bar were just blasted and powder coated.

I was about to reinstall the alternator and thought to myself "nah can't put that back in looking like that". So I stripped it down and cleaned it up. Really its not hard at all, it just takes a lot of time!

Won't get much work done over the next few days, I'm off to Canberra to see the Auto Italia festival
