So decided today to do the engine bay and start decontaminating the outside. Not very nice day and feeling a bit under the weather so didnt get too much done.
This is how the bay started

Weapons of choice!!! Dish brush and bog brush for the non painted parts and hard to reach bits and paint brush for elsewhere! Copious amounts of Megs Super Degreaser at 4:1 and im about 60% happy with the result but will have another go in the new year.
