the glass had oxidation marks on the inner side of the glass, but it was enough to polish it from inside. No visible rock marks on the outer glass side. Are you sure salt blasting it would not damage the glass?

@@Gadomaitis I've learned from a powder painter (who use metal blasting and others) that I could get back to life and polish my old vanagon glass with salt blasting. I'm not at that point of the restauration yet of the t3 so I haven't tested it yet, since you have the materials to sandblast you should check it out

Interesting, I will give it a try, definitely not on T3 headlight in the beginning

Nickel plating would require a lot more time& knowledge. Maybe next time. It's not visible, but on the powder it was said, it can withstand up to 170 C°, I haven't checked, but I thought, standart bulb would not reach that high.

On the reflector? Yes road salt corrosion, white crystals

Yes!
