You can strip and rebuild engines. You can build cars with your eyes shut, but you need help polishing a Bonnet??!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

Day 159

As posted previously, I did the lettering black on the painted inlets, took a while but I like it better done...

Also jetwashed the engine bay today, came up very very well considering the amount of mud, gravel and dirt was in there...

Also had been painting the waterpump pulley at the same time as doing the inlets, to use up the rest of the paint, something a bit different...
