I wouldn't worry, it only looks light.

Cool. So long as curbing and corrosion isn't too severe then it'll be 100 to you.

As promised a few more updates, went shopping today and got me some goodies!



first things first was a play with the dremel (why didnt i buy one of these years ago!) and gettin rid of the rust around my top mounts.



and a little bit on the wing



next i found the wire brush attachment and had a play, cleaned up the metering head a bit



and the bonnet catch



next was to play with my soldering iron kit, so i wanted to tidy up the wiring for the extra injectors



sh!tty connections



set out the spacing on the bench to trim all the wiring correctly



clamped them to solder



started to black wrap em, ended up looking like a spider but to be honest there was not alot I could do





then sprayed the top mount cups in the mixed up grey i got, and its watery as fook so not to sure if im happy with it



thats all for today! Tommorow should be putting the primer on the wing and top mounts, waaaay to windy today  :angry:
