Ive recently had my rear beam, wishbones, arb's and brackets, hub carriers front and rear, front crossmember, firewall/bulkhead panel, rs500 grills, all unerbonnet brakets, front calipers, rocker cover, roll cage, petrol tank and strap, stru brace, diff end plate, also in the batch was a pair of Transam front inner wings and other parts and also some ponitac Fiero parts...the lot owed us around 400 quid In numerous different colours ie black for suspension, red for calipers and rocker cover and strut brace and met silver for the fuel tank. All top notch work/finish and deffo worth the cost...which imo was cheap

Strip your componants right down to bare items...get a load of old bolts and nuts and use them to plug up your threaded holes/studs..do as much as you can to make it easier and quicker for them and hint for a cash job and you should be ok. Anything that you dnt want powdercoating, mark up with some masking tape...things like bush mounts and suspension strut mounts will need some sheilding...they will mask off what you mark up using heat resistant tape. Deffo worth the cost and i'll be using them again. Click on my resto link below for a look at my cossie parts
