Engine nearly back to normal now
 
Yeah, yeah ....... I know you guys say "but it always looks clean", well that's not true:D.


It sat for many months at RCM and became stale. Eight cleans later and a fierce one last night it's nearly back to what it was.................... thank gawd.

Easier to keep clean when it's like this.

Nice one mate, as you say it will be easier to keep clean now
How's the bodywork holding up, does it still shine, is the depth still there mate

Scooby_Greg 22-03-2012 07:05 PM

Now that's clean!
Out of interest, how do you clean the alternator? I clean mine and a couple of months later its just as oxidised and looks exactly the same as before I started

Looks very nice :10:


What happened to the corner of the ID plate next to the off side suspension turret. (think its called that).

I wonder who broke it . :whistle:

Nige 22-03-2012 08:04 PM

Very nice mate :EVO:

Skullfudge 22-03-2012 08:11 PM

BigE: .... A micro fiber got caught on the corner and pinged the end off :(



Greg:..... wire wool mate.




Crowman: the paint is holding up just fine dude. Still much depth and shines a gooden. :)

I was there when after you had caught the ID plate with the cloth,
you bent it then pushed it back and it snaped off.:nod:

It was on the same day as the WR1 and other limited editions meet .

Steve_PPP 22-03-2012 10:41 PM

Thats looking great Clive :ok:

Skullfudge 22-03-2012 10:49 PM

Thanks chaps :)


BigE .. LOL .. :) I love making people happy.

Come and see me at the next meet and we can do the other corner :)

i was thinking to wire wool my alternator, and then lacquer it to stop it oxygdising, would that work? Would it risk catching fire (high temp)?? Was going to give the timing belt shield the same treatment

simba 23-03-2012 02:41 PM

if carlsberg did engines this is what it would look like !!! top job clive

The Gimp 23-03-2012 07:58 PM

That looks the part Clive.

What you use on the FMIC pipe work?

Steve

burble 23-03-2012 09:25 PM

Suddenly I feel very inadequate... I like having a clean car, but this takes it to a whole new level

Bolesroor 23-03-2012 09:59 PM

Looking the biz Mr Fudge! :worthy:

Skullfudge 23-03-2012 10:56 PM

Gimp: ..... for the IC pipe work I use Mq's metal polish.

After I use that I have a good trick to make it really shiny :)


Give me a wonna and I'll tell you :grin:



The stupid thing is I never polish that pipe before I took the pics lol
Check out pic 1 and you can see my smeary hand prints all over it

Tyler 23-03-2012 11:44 PM

AndyWRX 28-03-2012 07:12 PM
