This came in to have the paint freshened up after having the stickers removed.

It’s a good job I have some ladders!

Engine Work

Posted on Thursday, 12th November 2009 in - Something a bit different, Example Work

The owner of the car asked me to look at his engine bay so he could then get on top of it.

Owners who do look after the engine bay know how many hours it takes to get it looking spot on so the point of today was to take as much gunge away to give him a starting point to then fettle away.

Lots of water based degreaser was used to cut through the muck with various size brushes including the occasional tooth brush, this was after covering up the components that could get damaged by water.

4 hours in total was spent giving the owner a good starting point now to keep on top of it.
