Under the Bonnet

Wk 36

This week was a week of fiddley bits. Spent my time cleaning up all sorts of part inside the bonnet. Lots of little bits of rust, mostly surface rust but just lots of little fiddley bits to sort.

I cleaned up inside the back of the dash area. Think there might have been condensation in there at some point as the top inside has a bit of surface rust.  Also cleaned up the rust in the neck of the fuel filler.

 Also under the bonnet found a couple of patches of rust that were well hidden with seam sealer. Lucky i noticed it.

 Got a really achy neck after sanding upside down on the underside of the front area under the window.

There was quite a bit of rust in the brake fluid area to clean up.

 With a couple of coats of Kurust after it was cleaned back I painted it up. Was a very fiddley day being really picky looking for ever last spot of tiny rust.
