[Joris]

Nice work... Keep on going, the cleaning has been done very well. Like to see the result

[Knight Rider S4]

Well today was more cleaning

Chef tip : Surf washing powder..make into paste with water and apply to all areas with grease ,dirt so on and rinse..







Applied the mix to the engine bay and wiped down








Off tomorrow so building up manifolds and turbo and changing gaiter on steering rack

good work steve, touch of fabric conditioner would have given it a wee extra sparkle though (valeters tip)

[Knight Rider S4]

Excellent Eric ..probably saved drying my hands out to..It was Lemon fresh Surf so the engine bay smells good

[Acidburn]

lol @ you two, still good tips, i've got this to come after the engine comes out on the 21st, aelred said about using traffic film remover so will try both and see what happens.

tfr's ok , but with something you're trying to get back to paint or bare metal you need something a bit more toxic like, petrol, diesel, soft drinks etc.

I'll be looking to get back to the normal paint (or whats left of it under that grease/dirt) could do soft drinks as the amount of coke I get thru is untrue, plus a 2 litre bottle's cheap enough.

Steve, did you not have any deepeo?

[Knight Rider S4]

No ..we have a very crazy health and safety person onsite ..We have a good oven cleaner which i use on the wheels

[Knight Rider S4]

Well i have this week off and working on the motor 2 days soild hopefully to get it back together

Went a bit daft with the enamel paint while waiting for parts to arrive

RS2 turbo with a difference




breather pipe got a lick of paint to



EM arrived


So getting on with things will be putting engine back in tomorrow and hopefully by thursday i will be starting the car

[Error404]

Great work mate, its really coing together now

Marine Clean is an amazingly good cleaner, i never bother with anything else now

[Knight Rider S4]

Holy cow ...That does look good ..on the shopping list

[Error404]

get the biggest bottle, you'll use it on everything after one go

works best mixed about 3:1 with almost boiling water i've found

[Knight Rider S4]

Excellent ...will do

[Knight Rider S4]

Today has been good to a degree

I started off with good intentions with fitting the AAN manifold and playing about with rad so but got really pissed of as one thing after the other needed moved or replaced with something else that i had not accounted for ...so I have stuck on the Orginal IM and sending the AAN to get chopped and intake moved to make much easier access without all the hassle of rads mounts,hoses so on

So got the engine in ..all bolted up wiring at the back has been tidied up and fitted just the front end really left to do and she is a go'er
