The bay is very solid, just a build up of the usual dust/dirt/grease etc over time,it is very good in there, so that is a good start anyway.
I also think it has 4wd pistons in it as it's so quiet on cold start up, it's sounds like a dream.Gonna check the pistons type,having a look with a bore scope soon just to confirm this.
Thanks. Lee.

Did a bit of cleaning today.Here is what I was faced with.Lots of parts already gone off for zinc coating, blasting etc.
This lot is ready for powdercoating, got some more to add to the pile yet though.
Thanks.Lee.

Ordered some more goodies that came a few days back from Ford.
Had some new T peice stainless front bumper brackets arrive, ready painted up in satin black.
Bought another set of Pioneer speakers for the rears this time,match my front set I purchased a few months ago.
That's it for now.

Steve, I know, this is the question people who know me ask me, I can't go through this again, so my answer is yes I am.
Hows the Focus treating you? It was good to see you at Donny.
Soda blasted.
Thanks Paul.

Turbo front housing off and a bit of fettling as somebody had cut off the 4wd actuator bracket, well some shape, it's now been rounded off nicely.

Front arches, thought I would give them a clean up today as the plastic arch liners are already removed,lots of waxoyl in there, cleaned some off but left some of it in place.Pics before cleaning.
Exhaust is off so thought I would give it a go, first off used Mr Muscle oven cleaner, sprayed it on and left it on for 30 mins.
More pics shortly.

What's the solution called Lee, looks a lot easier than blasting everything, although I wish I'd know of it before I'd spent 3 days at the blast cabinet last week!!!
