Stop Censorship
|
|
The Music and Movie industries attempt to disable
the internet and truncate your freedom of speech using
US legislation nicknamed SOPA, PIPA and as of April 2012, CISPA.
|
|
ACTA is just as bad (perhaps worse) and
and an attempt is in progress to get it approved by governments
all over the world.
|
|
The DMCA law in the US is equally bad and was
written by the same industries but
I don't document the law or its bad effects on
the world's people here.

See my censorship web page with its
links to more information on how vital it is to stop PIPA, SOPA, and ACTA.

Frame Restoration

Frame Restoration
One aspect of the restoration was repainting the frame.
It had only very light rust (some of it under the factory
original black paint). It also
had very minor rippling at the very thin
rear end area and a little denting on the bottom
of the front tee from careless jacking (issues I ignored).
It also had a small cut and crack on the frame top near the
engine mount: a result of the installation of the air conditioner
years before (removed before I bought the car).
I had the cut-out piece restored (a patch welded in ) and
the crack welded with a small piece added.
I was initially reluctant to have it
sand blasted (thinking of something
softer), but in the end that's what I had done.
Following this, I built a holder so I could have the
europa frame up in the air where I could turn it around,
holding it at each end. I gave it a complete preparation
treatment according to the directions and then painted with
POR-15. POR-15 is very thin so even with a brush the result
is very smooth and shiny.
I simply could not let myself use black though, too hard to see
any dirt or to keep it clean.
Notice the
front sway bar
on the ground.
