Default Mellow yellow .....

Well i fancied a bit of a change under the bonnet so have started the transformation.
first up was a donor manifold to be stripped down for 3 coats of powder paint.


Then the powdered finish...


Then it was time for a complete strip down including a timing belt change.

Then the rebuild......

And of course the finished article....well there will be more yellow to be added to the engine bay...
********all comments welcome********
