Yeah its similar to POR15, if you have seen it. The difference is its Australian and way cheaper for that reason.

The main coating is high gloss, but they have a hard wearing top coat which gives it that nice OEM satin look. :thumbup:

The last couple of days have been dedicated to degreasing and etching the engine, today was paint.

Happy with the result, the colour is lighter in the flesh. (is a metallic)
The alloy parts need a buff, the black parts need paint, then it's done.

Have you rebuilt it or doesn't it need it?

I haven't, and I hope it doesn't.. Haha.
It turns over, has decent compression, no funny sounds - fingers crossed.

A full rebuild is out of the budget, it will be done at a later stage if required.

They keep going and going even if they use a bit of oil .
