Did you paint the bay? or just clean it and degrease it?

Looks really good mate, coming along well.

Cant wait to get cracking on mine

Just a tart up job or did you actually make the engine better?

hey man thanks!

It really isn't as daunting as it seems, there's only one place for everything so it ain't too bad :) (i'd say you can't go wrong but i guess you can :P)

Cleaned the bay and polished it, cleaned up the rust and hammerited it. not a show room finish by any means but practical.

The engine was dipped in acid and had both top and bottom skimmed.  Fitted an extra thick head gasket and heavy duty bearings.  There is nothing performance wise done, no upgrades as such - I have fitted uprated injector nozzles and panel filter - will be fitting straight thru exhaust, fmic and having it remapped.
