i decided not to get the diff powdercoated...which was a good decision because it being so heavy and me not having enough jacks meant that i scratched it a bit putting it back in place.
the diff is a borg warner 28 spline with 4 pinion centre, it has been shortened to allow me to run commodore offset rims
the brakes are vl turbo spec
got some pics...but also got dead camera batteries...

You Can, or you can clean with wire brush first, then use a rust convertor, then paint it with POR.
A couple of things about rust:
Rust is oxidation of any ferrous or non ferous metal. with the latter being called corrosion, as in all alloys, tin and Zinc etc.
With oxygen present rust will continue to eat just like hungry termites in pine, so if you remove or delete the oxygen from the metal , whether it is rusted or not, it will cease or slow down the rust process.
Thats how the Por 15 product works, it that tough and sealed for life that oxygen can't get into the product it is protecting, unlike paint, in which it is porus hense the need to polish and paint protect to prevent water and oxygen to penetrate under the paint layer and protect the under lying metal.
You know when you polish your duco, and the water beads in drops on the paintwork, thats when you know you have good corrosion protection, unlike when the water spreads all over, thats when she's porus, and moisture is being allowed to slip through that paint protection barrier and sit on the underlying metal, slowly eating you car away inside out.

Who did it? www.MelbourneSodaBlasting.com
where are they? Dandenong, off cheltenham rd near east link
What did it cost? 2400
Were they helpful? vince is a top bloke, pulled the front subframe off and put it back on after blasting.
Was there any disadvantages? can someone else fill this one in?...
