Hi Adrian,
I didn’t go too mad with the polishing, just got it to a decent standard and lacquered it.

Those heat shields look like they’re zinc plated and yellow chromated, don’t polish them mate.

The chromate is there to protect the zinc from corrosion, and it will polish off easily. (that’s if I’m correct and it’s chromate, check with the plater)

Cheers Steve.

How come you are allowed Car Parts in the house/Kitchen? Ever since I got busted for putting parts (Expansion/Washer bottles) in dishwasher not allowed inside!

I always waited until I was home alone. I think all women are the same. What they don't know doesn't make them hot.

Looks good. I've used very thin/watery superglue around the holes for the clips to strengthen my door cards up aye. Otherwise it shouldn't be difficult to make new ones with fresh hardboard
