Blackys Engine bay cleaning commence

**merc85** · Tuesday 5th November 2013, 22:02

Havent clean the engine bay at all for ages, so made a start last night for a hour or so. then after taking a few pic's wasnt to impressed.
So i had another go tonight and she's starting to come up quite well.

Hopefully fingers crossed the meet at the Ace cafe will be a dry one as im trying to get it to a decent standard for this gathering. Note nothing is painted just cleaned. Still got to do along the bulk head behind the siren and polly mounts etc.
