Steve GT Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 The engines out only took an hour and half too was quite impressed PicsNext steps are cleaning and painting engine, gear box and ancillaries. Then probs going to respray the engine bay as its pretty much beyond cleaning. Gunk is good stuff but it doesnt work miracles Then its a toms bumper and spoiler of iddy to complete the kit and i should be getting it sprayedPlenty more to do yet thoughts?
