You let me know who they are and I'll sort them out for you.

Besides mine is a pleasure for you, it shouldn't count as work.

So I've spent the last day doing a job I have seriously not been looking forward to and that was cleaning the underseal and grime from off the rear chassis legs and around the back end where the fuel tank mounts and subframe bolts to.
Its a very dirty but satisfying job once it's done,once cleaned I put some etch primer on to protect the bare metal ready to stone chip and paint.

Heat gun and a scrapper to start and then a belt sander to remove any stubborn stuff and to finish a orbital sander on 80 grit followed by 180

Really busy at work at the minute mate so mine is on the back burner plus I'm waiting for another batch of bolts to come back from the zincer and my tank cradle is having some an6 unions welded on for the external fuel setup so I'll be having a big push this weekend hopefully!
