Very early days yet but after sandblasting some wheels I had time to quickly blast some bay parts and paint them. Lots more cleaning to go. What's the recommended method to clean everything else up nicely.

Given the engine layout, I think it's hard to have a clean bay...

Pretty impossible with the engine in actually
Chassis rails are in original place but tubbing means there is no room for a ratchet to fit.

In the absence of a contemporary 'after' photo, then I guess what he means is that it's still the same mods/dress-ups, etc... But the bay was new and pristine back then, (but not so much, now)?
