I may do the funnel but I may leave the uprights. I would have thought that would have been how they were originally finished with a zinc passivate.

 

Anyway, once complete the car won't get the use it's had over the last 15 years.

Leave em silver Jonny. Mine are gold and clear coated. The front uprights are probably best left bare metal, they'll corrode sufficiently to protect themselves from large deterioration.

 

Looking good btw.

I suppose that's it really, I generally won't. There's nothing on the front Aluminium uprights either. How hot do you reckon they get?

 

Jon, if i had spent all that time on a car. They would not even get warm    :)

Hi q quick question, when cleaning the tub, you mention, tooth paste a dremel etc.

 

Can you go in to more detail, I have tried the magic sponges and some very mild polish but some staining remains, toothpast may be the answer?

 

Can you go through exactly how you cleaning it (step by step)

 

Cheers
