Right,

Back into this. Been a while but I'm getting frustrated with the lack of progress. Cash to progress has been an issue but a decent PPi payout has lubricated the wheel of progress.

I still don't know what's happening with the engine and gearbox that got left in my mates unit. A cheap gearbox came up on a Facebook group (£40!) so I jumped at it. It was an easy call in on the way home from my brothers wedding in Newcastle.

So, it wasn't the cleanest. Properly greasy. Spent some time on it today. Took off all the brackets, sprayed it with neat G101, agitated with a brush, then took the pressure washer to it. Pics in no order as imgbb is being crap.









So it's a lot cleaner. I'm still planning on stripping it and sending the case parts off to be vapour blasted. I think factory finish was bare Ali but I might look at clear coating it once blasted clean.

I'm also just putting together a parts list for my parts man....
