Blakeya=The alternator was stripped down by a mate at a auto electrician's and then sent to a chrome plating company to be chromed.Then back to my mate who reconned it b4 putting it all back together.Most platers would do it mate.
RS-Adam=It was resprayed cos i'm a fussy fucker.There were little marks on her here and there that were bugging me when i was polishing her.So instead of just doing this panel that panel thought fuck it.do thhe lot.And got a good rate off a coupe of mates.All done inside 36 hours as well.
