Well I finally got around to taking some pics of the frame resto. Frame was media blasted, primed with a zinc rich primer(really good stuff!) and coated with bed liner spray. Next up will be the suspension rebuild. Am thinking about powder coating the coil springs red. Saw that on a racer on ebay and it looked too cool!

Ozzie,

The frame looks good, congratulations. I too restored my TR6 frame in similar fashion, sand blasted (in my backyard)then coated with a light solution of phosphoric acid, then primed and topcoated with spray truck bed liner. I was pleased with the results until some solvent hit the truck bed liner and it melted. This worried me as there will certainly be future times when brake cleaner or other spray solvent is used on the vehicle. So, I topcoated the bed liner with POR 15 chasis black. Very hard and glossy stuff which picked up the texture of the bed liner nicely. I'm very pleased with the results now.

Ozzie,

Thanks for the kind words. I also used bed liner so solvents melting the coating might pose a problem. Where did you get the chassis black?

i purchased a one quart can of chasis black high gloss topcoat from KBS coatings online.
 
Great job - there's nothing in a project that
looks as cool (& proper) as a well done chassis.
