Hi Wayne, which week beers getting hot.

wow your work is great

Hi Dennis

Could you briefly describe how to clean the aluminium covers to a as new look?

After the cleaning, to stop oil and dirt stains reoccurring, is it feasible to spray a coat of clear lacquer over the bare aluminium, such as the bell housing ?

Your really setting the pace with that job, good work.

I found the only thing that worked on my car was to bead-blast them,

Cheers Charlie

i was watching something on youtube where he said he cleaned aluminium and the spots came back and then tried some acids and it worked. I think i am going to look at bead blasting now too.

As stated by Charlie, Glass bead is the go. Cheap easy and quick.

Hello Dennis

Its been a while - looks like the project is comming along well.

All the best

Wayne

Knocked up a couple of new door skins and fitted, a lot faster than trying to remove dints. Have the wings just about straight hopefully get them painted in the next day or 2.

Hi Dennis

thinking of bring a few spare fuel pumps for the weekend
it's a pity the rest of the panel work was not as easy as door skins
how did you get on with the 110?
cheers
