Rain and more rain.
Perfect for a public holiday Monday when there are so many shows etc planned.
I was going to find some procrastination project to do, then realised the inner fenders will never clean themselves.
So armed with about 3 liters of petrol a couple of soft and hard brushes and a putty knife, I started on the greaser, dirtiest one of the two. Sat outside in the rain, I got thoroughly soaked, but the first one followed by the second one which was not as oily, got done, then I washed them both with the hard brush and about 3/4 bottle of Cif/Hany Andy ammonia based kitchen cleaner to get the oily grease off, washed and rinsed with buckets of water from my perpetually refilling water butt, I was eventually happy.
Both sides are now ready for paint prep, primer coat followed by Satin Black Two Pack paint.
Yesterday I started to reassemble to cleaned, painted and MX5/Miata Motorwd heater unit, only to realise all the screws, 32 of them, were dirty and not very good looking, so steel brush, poked through some cereal box cardboard and both the heads and threads satin blacked as well.
So today after the inner fenders I finished reassembly of this unit and packed it away.
The lid is away with Ian Brown for some special under hood treatment.
The red you can see is a high density foam gasket I made to seal the fan to the metal case.
