just pulled off my bonnet, grill and bonnet latch panel
and stared in awe as i suddenly realised how filthy my poor lil 998cc clubby motor is.......
I knew it needed cleaning after i bought it a month or two ago but not this
bad theres crap everywhere....
I reckon it has a leak to cause theres oil grime everywhere.
Oh well this'll keep me busy this weekend...
Degreasing sanding back surface rust and polish polish polish
oh and maybe a bit of painting
Fun
