Was a fairly productive weekend, managed to find all the engine covers from under the piles of junk, and set about giving them a clean. When the wife asked where I was heading I replied, 'I'm off to the garage to give my bits a good rubbing, hehe'. Joking aside though, there really is nothing more satisfying than taking a dirty piece of metal and making it shine till you can see your reflection in it!
Before...
introducing: the beast...
and after...
stripping the clamps
'I'm so shiny, look at me shine!'
The only way to replace all the elbow grease needed for polishing - a nice cold beer :)
