Excellent job sir, and nice motor to work on as well

 

Was nice when I took it out for a blast before starting to clean it

 

Very nice.. And may lead to a pay rise lol

 

Awesome job pal, I was surprised how well using a clay really helps to get that extra special finish when I used it to clean a mates series 2 for him.
