I'm going to refurbish the rear beam etc on the sapph, for those of you that have done it what did it cost roughly to get it all blasted and powder coated, I will want to Powder coat the:

Beam
trailing arms
Roll bar
Springs
Disk stone guards

I will be tidying up the drive shafts, shocks, hubs etc myself, also when you remove the inner trailing arm bushes would you have to replace with new, don't want to if I can help it as there's only about 5 thousand miles on them (standard ford bearings) so would like to re-use them if they don't get damaged pressing them out.

I know the above question hasn't been answered yet
but the next question is: does anyone know of anywhere in the Northamptonshire area that specialises in blasting and powder coating

About £70 I'd guess at that lot. If you press the bushes out carefully you should be fine. But maybe worth masking up inside the hole where the bush goes, so it doesn't get powder coated - will be much easier to put the bushes back.

Is it best to mark the bushes in relation to it's position in the hole in the trailing arms so that they go back in the exact position that they came out from, because I'm presuming that they probably settle into a certain position after being on the car for a while.

It's not going to hurt so you may as well!
