    Well winter is nearly here so made a start on the bay as thats the bit that didn't get painted so took the hammer and bolster to the rain tray Laughing i have wanted to do this for ages as it gives you so much more room to work on the engine.

    so here is todays progress all in all took about 3 hours to do to get to this stage.just needs the spotwelds drilling out and then prepping but wasn't a bad job to do.
