yes mate theres 3 grades of mop and compound in that kit,start with the most course and work your way through to the finishing mop,takes a fair bit of time but the results are worth it.

todays work guys,as its dried out a bit i thought id start to remove the fuel tank and pump.anyone whos removed a fuel tank off a 25 year old ford will know what a bastard of a job it is,as you can guess every bolt had to be cut off.tank has some surface rust,ill give it a clean up an see what it looks like.tell me what you think.

you can adjust that screw to sort the mixture its just if it was mapped like that i would have thought there was another problem,maybe the water temp sensor gone down making it run on "choke" all the time,which would account for the rich mixture
