Wicked find and flying through the work.

Was that an original 3 speed crash box floor shifter? Would you sell it if so?

Gave the remainder of the underbody a good scotchbrite and a blast, came up a treat, now for the reset of the KBS and body deadner
That should slow that dirt up for a while.

10 -20 % depending on how delicate the material

In my plastic 44 I use 1 1/2 - 2 kgs of powder to 220 litres of water, check every 12 hrs

Sleep over for Rusty bits in a fresh Citric bath

Little longer for the bonnet hinges and a clear coat and I’m calling them done

Cheers
