Default A Little More Work In The Engine Bay

Had to wait in today for a delivery, so what better way to while away a few hours than polishing a few nooks and crannies. I also managed to clean all the dust and grime from right down deep by the headlamps, so all in all a productive morning.









I also learnt that, no matter how fiddly the bits are, you're not supposed to use the best tooth brush. Still don't fully understand why though.

Looking even more stunning than ever Cliff, your 75 looks even better in real life than it does in the photos. Hope to see you soon.

Nothing special, just an assortment of metal polish, wire wool etc. Just take one area at a time and keep adding to it over time. I've had my '75 for 10 years now, and still find plenty of areas that haven't been properly cleaned up!

You may joke, but no - not finished by a long way. Lots of areas I can't get my hands in. I'm strangely looking forward to the next belt change so I can polish a few parts whilst they're off the car.
