Cleaned the underside of my cosworth (NOW STARTED WELDING 20/04/12)
Well its been a year now since i have even really looked under the car with winter looming and not alot going on i have been think about painting up the underside of my motor.
My motor has only done 87,000 and it was garage all its life before i brought it so i was hoping it would be to bad...
When i first got it i 3m shuttes the back end just to be on the safe side (now i wish i hadn't cause its fidderly to clean off).
i will let the pics do the talkin.
Started with the pressure washer
This is how it came out, i know its not prefect but its a hell of alot easier to work on now...
(thats not rust on the shell its the underseal that is stuck on there)
There is some bits have a bit of surface rust that need minor attention but on the whole i was pleased with myself for the rest of the day.

Right so its been awhile since i touched the old girl ive been busy with other stuff like jetsking and off roading, O and getting a new workshop.....
so after all that fun its back to the cosworth for the short time i got her in the workshop a couple of weeks ago to see what needed doing, i new in my heart of hearts it would need a alittle bit of welding like they all do so between me and a couple of mate we brought a 185 mig welder and got started. i will let the pics do most of the talking!!!!
