I started to have a go at mine today scrubbing off the cack on the engine, and gettin the metal polish on it..... Its goin to take me years at this rate. I did the heat shield, but its kindof rusty in places, so Its now shiney and rusty at the same time.... Ah well!

P.S my neibours think i'm crazy!
