MiNT 610

Funny that Paul just had my Venturi up in the air today and it is spotless apart from a knackered secondary water pump!

Good to hear.

I don't know if it makes a difference, I am sure that all my metal on my 610 ( being a very early one ) is coated in a white protective layer, but I can see this is all black ( or is it trick photography or MVS protective treatment ) which seems to me nothing was applied to protect it.

Looking at the new chassis rails. One side are white/cream, the other black.

You have some new chassis rails? Are the simple to make...looks like we may need 66 more sets....

All bits back from powder coating + all rot repairs done
Still got the engine to dress and build back up but it's only covers and ancillaries so shouldn't take that long .
Build up the running gear front is next .New bearings ball joints etc etc .

[stephendell]

All looks to have turned out really nicely except rear lower arms but I guess these are always the rustiest due to crap design.

Yeh ,lower rears always worst but only due to thin easily ' dimpled ' base plate .It's all solid though .
Did you find out price/del/avail of new wishbones front etc ??

.
... were the rears replaced anyway after the spin and hard object action?

Shhhh, I didn't tell the new owner it was in a major high speed crash

Nope no suspension damage was done at all so nothing was replaced. It was all checked out Gangnam Style
