While waiting for parts for the belt job, I started on the oil pan gasket and motor mounts. As usual, there is a lot of "while-you-are-in-there" jobs as well. I don't like to re-install dirty and corroded parts. So, after a lot of cleaning, parts have been sand blasted and either sent out for re-plating with zink and yellow chromate, or powder coated. I just bought a powder coating gun, and found a free oven on the local counterpart to Craigslist, so this is my first attempt. Turned out great for the motor mount housing and a few other parts. Really wish I had this opportunity before.

I have tried zink plating at home before, but didn't get the chromate to the level i wanted, so I sent the parts out for re-plating.

Here's the result. pretty happy with it:
