got some stuff done today.

drivers side being sanded down and cleaned..

Hmmm, found rust underneath the battery tray, seems like its caused by a semi-loose batterytray, vibrating/grinding against the chassie, wearing off the old paint and primer..... Salty norwegian coastal weather have not helped on the situation.....:icon_tdow

What is this item, found it under the igniter on the drivers side:

Found a second "rats nest" under the breaking-unit..!

Also found the remnants of my previously posted semi-eaten window-washer hose and end covers on the steering rack...:scratch:

Engine bay done, satin black:

looks soo much better against the titanium grey paintjob:

brakeunit picked apart and refurbished:

ABS unit picked down for washing, sanding off and painting:

all pipes on the torpedo-wall grinded down, primed and painted:
