I am planning to do some media blasting on my front fenders and perhaps around the edges of the hood and trunk lids this weekend. The main surfaces I have already stripped with sanding disks or paint remover.
The media is 0.2 to 0.5mm slag. Should I be worried about deforming anything by sandblasting? I will stay away from the flat surfaces so I don't make waves in anything, but I figure the inner fenders and such should be no problem to sandblast. My compressor goes up to 9 bar (130psi) but I can reduce to something like 6 (90psi) so I am not using too much pressure to blast...
I want to take care of any remaining rust before primer.

Instead of a full drain and refil on the trans and OD, I just openend the fill port on the trans and let a little oil out. That should make things at the correct fill level.
