Well i started to unwrap my cage to take some pictures and it has took my over a hour to do just the rear cage without sratching it so i'll do the rest tomorrow because it is to cold but heres some pics of it.



I started to unpic all the wireing loom out of the engine bay so i can prep it for cleaning and then painting,this project is bigger than i thought.
I hope to have the engine bay done by next week end.
Cheers Paul
