ok so had a few tins of cream paint left so decided i'd paint the bay whilst engines out
painted up the subframe and changes all the bushes, balljoints etc
and for the last week been attacking the engine, started with Gunk then spent a day sanding it down by hand, got all the grease off, which was really bad on the backside due to the driveshaft leaking.
Then gave it a go over with thinners to get last of grime off, and gave it a good few coats of enamel engine paint. Seems very bright though not sure i like it lol
sump will be coming off when engines in for a new gasket and a good clean and spray
