240Z: Preparing small bits for Zinc-plating

So here we go. Started preparing stuff for getting it zinc-plated / Replated. The company that does the work told me they can only remove slight surface rust and old zinc so i had to remove the thicker rust spots and old paint, grease and rubber:
Started like this: 60 pieces total (Note the Snow in my Garden :D)

Gave all the pieces a treatment with paint-stripper. just to make sure everything is gone:
P1130885 - Kopie

After letting it soak for a while and then cleaning it with water. it looked like this – much better already 🙂
P1130886 - Kopie

Spent another hour or so cleaning all the bits with a dremel and a mini wire-wheel. Much better. Now ill ship it to the zinc-plating company and hope to get the bits back soon 😀   P1130892 - Kopie
