Engine removed and engine bay cleaned up
Major rust spot in the bay
After lots of scrubbing and cleaning came out better in original colour
Removed the parts for paint/polish
Paint we were using, all paints were specially for engine and heat resistant.
Painted all the moutings, cross member, engine parts keeping it close to the stock look
Painted the gearbox as well, it was all cleaned and repaired before painting.

Polished and chromed
Nice outcome still not final
Got some new parts as well, pressure plate, small engine parts, brake and clutch cylinder, tire rod ends and sway bar linkages etc, as all needed to be replaced, someone managed to get all these here
