Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Still chilly and windy outside.

Had planned my first ever Netflix binge over at Sally’s place, to allow her to paint her sons bedroom (no, not allowed to help)

But I would really struggle to sit still for that long.

So unloaded the metal folder, it’s a heavy chunk of metal, and certainly a two handed lift and carry for me.

Put that and two bags of wood pellets in the shed.

Then carried, rather than roll the wheels from the far end of the deck where they have been sitting, around to the front and into the company car, thank goodness it’s a Focus Estate/wagon, these wheels and tyres take up a bit of room, even with the seats down.

So I may go grab some food and see if the tyre shop can pull the tyres off for me and then I will have the wheels blasted.

Bring them home. Polish and buff the spokes to a level I am happy with, rather than have them machine cut.

I will then mask them, go back to the coasters and have the recessed sections powder coated, in Anthracite, to go with the stripes.

And the centre caps will get done at leisure once I have the wheels fitted and decide just how I want to manage them.



I could still regret this vs just blowing £90.00 per wheel for a simple blast, coat and cutting.

We will see.
