I will remember this as may come in handy.

On your site under less mess, no fuss you need to change the "then" to a "than"

max is 120 psi but unless we need to cut through concrete, we'd never need to run that high! usual pressure is 12 bar, more than enough for what we offer

just mucking around with some spares i have up at my yard, rear axle off a mk5 escort. Came up lovely

Another angle of the rear axle

I think we all know what car this bonnet belongs to

This E type jag was hiding a multitude of sins! 250k car once restored apparently. Rather an RS200 myself lol

this is on my 'to do' list. in the process of stripping it now.

Some pics from this weeks blasting project, a 28 foot yacht!<br/>All metal work stripped back completely and any rust removed, but the hull was fibreglass so we had to be careful taking the anti fouling and paintwork off, without damaging the fibreglasses gel coating
