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. Image Uploaded with ImageShack.us Image Uploaded with ImageShack.us Image Uploaded with ImageShack.us Image Uploaded with ImageShack.us
