Cleaning engine bay PICS inside

[KrissyB]

After Abbott and his very lovely Missus helped me get the engine out Friday morning I set about clenaing the engine bay and sorting the tiny rust spots around the front slam panel etc etc.

Just some Gunk engine degreasant and elbow grease really, not finished pics but a work in progress as its a project not a rushed project.

As soon as the weather improves ill be back out with my Hammerite to paint the hubs and sort out the underneath and lower arms and the rest of the engine bay.

Here it is so far

dirty lights

clean lights

A few hours to be fair matey but i did have a spare pair of hands.

I reckon another few hours then mask everything up a little rub down and be very carful when spraying then find some sort of hardwearing heat resistant laquer and spray that on I think.

Lets say another full day at least to finish up but thats chillin and tea breaks and food lol
