Got me some free tools!

Those tools are ready to return to service. I got to get me some of that stuff. That latch part from your VW came out nice too. I tried to find those latches made out of stainless for my Jeep. Because of how they operate I didn't want to paint them or powder coat them because they'll chip. And I don't have any interest in putting chrome on the Jeep. Eventually, I'll probably soak them like you did and then zinc plate them. That should keep them looking nice for a while.
