Next stages......all the above washes applied and the `zorst`s piggied ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , the engine block and tranny have had the shine taken out of the ally casing to give a much more weathered look to it ...........still more to do

I`m not going rusty on the block coz it`s cast ally and not iron cast...........just going dirty, the `zorst`s are gonna be the only rust, the rest just dis-colouration
Ta chaps..

Thanks very much chaps ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Just a small up-date but this has taken a couple of evenings, a bit more washing and the `dizzy` is now wired....used EZ line to make the leads and that was a feckin` nightmare attaching them to the top of the tiny nodules on the dizzy cap ![>:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/superangry.png) ......the small plug boots were some tiny shrink tube, i`ve plugged a couple in and the rest i`ve just draped willy nilly as if they`ve been removed at some point..

Seems familiar ole chap, I sprayed a tad on the 190 and glued and sanded (more) quite a bit on the BTR. But then the interest slipped away. Feck, am I getting a mojo flop?

Unbeleivable detail and so intricate. A well deserved bevvy is in order, me thinks.
