right moan if you wish i dont care lol, I'm giving the lower lip a coat of white stone chip paint just to get some paint on there and protect it for now, I'm thinking of getting a Sr bumper for it at some point so will end up hidden anyways

its to dark to do anything else today and Ive still not got any lights in the garage :roll:
Have you seam welded the full bay then
Flat the stone chip off lightly with the 800 wet and dry, it will look very factory blended then!
Looks nice so far.

went to go get hammerite paint for the block, but fook me over 40 quid for it :O im going to have a shop about for it and see if i can get it any cheaper
I wouldn't bother with modern hammerite, it's been sold on to another company that decided to go green, they've dropped the VOC content of it and in the process made it ****. You can identify old and new from the "x years protection" claim on the tin but I can't remember which way round it is now.
I believe the POR stuff that Iaiaiaiaiain used a lot comes in various colours?
Also gunk is pretty weak compared to comma hyperclean... any half decent motor factor should stock it, get a little tin and try them both maybe :)
seems as the engine is out and on a stand, im going to scrape most of the crap off, then give it a go over with a stiff nylon brush before the gunk goes on as a last final stage of the wash
im not just going to brush the stuff on and hope for the best, bit of elbow grease first lol
fair enough, chances are you'll run out with that tiny tin though, far too tempting to splash it about :p if/when you do give hyperclean a go, it's honestly a lot better :)
i will keep a eye out for it fella, cheers
just a little everyday
