Advice and info please

Post by BigMark »

After much soul searching Fiona (my wife) and I have decided that if we are going to do Bluey (our 1970 moggie) we may as well do him well so we have move the goal posts from a basic "it will do" rebuild to a full strip and rebuild.
SO
first options....
Sand blast or Acid dip????
And does anyone know of locations to do either in Lancashire area (Bluey is in Preston)
All help and advice welcome
Cheers
Mark
