It is a fine looking motor, thank you for sharing.

Very nice those bumpers would look nice one mine I'm jealous :woohoo: :blink:

Good snaps

Why I thank you!

The bumpers has a new coat of Hammerite Satin Black the other day to tidy them up, along with the cage!

I could do with taking the rear bumper off and painting the inside of it too as the powder coating ORA used was rubbish and has peeled terribly. Ideally the whole thing could do with a trip to the blasters and a painting session but that's not going to happen!

My favourite for that would be the Hammerite underseal with added Waxoyl. Takes longer to dry but is a lot tougher than the Hammerite paint and it is out of sight so finish is not that important. Do my sump guards in it and just done my Junior spare wheel carrier in it too.

Does it actually ever dry though John? I used it on an old car of mine and whenever I worked on it I got the bloody stuff all over my clothes. I've never used it since as a result.

I have had a jolly good look under mine in the last few days and it needs a jolly good wire brushing and paint up.

I think when the warmer weather comes I'll have it up on axle stands, get all the wheels off and the exhaust back box, buy a good few litres of black Hammerite paint and once I've wire brushed it all and pressure washed it down, left it to dry and drunk some tea, I'll get down and dirty with a paint brush and coat everything in it!

I figure that's the best way to keep it good. I think Waxoil can create pockets within its self for moisture to sit in, so can do the opposite of what it's meant to do!
