    How come you have started filler work & rubbing down whilst the motor is still in? Be a nightmare to clean up, not to mention getting dust in an engine is a no-no.

    Nice car though.

    Its only a small amount of filler work most of it is paint ive rubbed down. Not taking engine out as its just a quick tidyup. Plus will blow it all off engine when i come to paint it. All the important things have been masked off turbo has been sealed. Thanks
