Default she's off the road!

Well she's off for winter! Got a little 1.1 popular plus fiesta for my winter run around! Started stripping the engine bay so the engine can come out and start cleaning and rebuilding!

Full engine rebuild, whole engine bay sprayed, chrome bits and a general cleaning! Then will start under the car and get everything painted and clean! simon
