I haven't had it up on the ramp to get underneath and assess the rust fully yet, but from what I have seen so far and from getting my head underneath it looks pretty good.
I have just about finished off cleaning up around the scuttle area.
New cabin air filter is also in place.
I have modified the battery tray so that I can fit on an SBS30 lightweight battery. These are a gel battery which are fantastic at producing high cranking currents, don't mind being discharged, and hold the charge practically forever. I have had one on my Westfield for years and use one to power my watch winder in my safe. I got a job lot of them years ago and many are still going despite being 20 years old!!
I have made up some brackets for the tray and will make up a hold down strap. Full details later. The tray is being repainted along with the alloy brackets and the alarm bracket.
The tray was rubbed down with a wire brush, degreased, treated with Jenolite, then cleaned again and painted with grey primer. It will be finished with two coats of humbrol enamel.
I also popped the engine cover to check for any other 'guests' . No evidence of any extra passengers in there.
