i finaly dragged myself away from red tube and did a bit of zinging. I sent some bits to the sandblasters,covered them with the old zinga (which is a pain to spray on)








Anyone tried this stuff (aparently they prime submarines with it..hmm)


The heat shield was soooo rusty it had/has holes in. Nothing a bit of wood wont fix.
