Roped a friend(Daz) in to sort out some bay bling,i got a hold of my mate who said it would help if i could prep the stuff up for him coming back off the boat

manifold had a lot of cast lines and mould marks(cellulite looing wrinkles on surface)and some pitting.






started on 80 grit as it was pretty heavy and took down all the cast lines
