So, made a start on striping the engine bay. Got the wire wheel on the rusty bits. Wasn't too sure what I'd find...
Seems the surface rust had gone a bit further than the bubbling under the paint but other than some surface pitting, there is nothing serious so far, including the bit on the bulkhead I was worried about, which is a good thing..
Had to stop as you can see from.the pics as its raining....will use the wire brush to get as much of the rust off as I can then switch to an abrasive disc. Once the rain stops that is....
Having a brew first tho!
