Right well due to lack of cash until payday(fortnight away) and being away all of next week, i thought i would do a spot of cleaning under the bonnet,

using my trusty red box wipes, a cloth with some warm water on, i cracked on,

need to get some wire wool on the cam box and the rocker cover, also need to replace the rocker cover gaskit,

but i am still suprised the fact i have found very little rust

anyway here are the piccies
