I've accumulated enough old vehicles that it's worth considering the acquisition of some grit blasting equipment. It has to be on the cheap though - can't afford 3 grand for a nice portable diesel compressor. Electric is out of the question as I don't have 3-phase.
I'm trying to think of possible solutions. One is to buy just the pump like this:
Another idea (perhaps my daftest to date?) is to use a couple of small car engines coupled back to back and use one of them as the compressor.
I'm not looking to blast clean a whole car body in one go - that requires much larger equipment - but it would be nice to be able to be able to grit blast the nooks and crannies you can't get at with a sander or wire wheel.
Suggestions/ideas very welcome.
