Cleaning up engine bay

  wk20 - 28/12/12- 5 hours

Got another day on the car this week but was a bit of a slow day. Cleaned up the grease in the engine bay with some white spirit. There are a few spots of rust in the engine bay to clean up, made a start but need to get a smaller wire brush for the drill to get into the corners.

In the grill above the back of the engine lid i started to clean up the grime under the grill. When i started to clean i realised there was a lot of loose paint. Turns out to be a whole layer paint but it is really flaky, i am guessing because it was never keyed being so hard to get to. So with some little hand held wire brushes and a screw driver I have started to clean off the loose paint. It is going to take a while but i have made a start.
There is also a couple of spots of rust that need to be cleaned and treated.

The dark parts are where there is still loose paint to clean off.
