We'll today was the start of my engine clean. Must say it's come up better than I expected!!! The one thing I could do with a hand with would be some advice on new parts!!!
Do I remove all the genuine parts have them powder coated or try to buy replacements …. Things like the Brake servo, cam cover , rad fan cover , Rocker cover….. And so on… Got great feedback at the anniversary gathering on my car bodywork and interior so want to now get the engine upto scratch
I am mechanic so how difficult are theses parts to change … Would I be better getting someone to help ?
Any help would be great

The Alternator should polish up like massband69s I did mine with a Dremel and a felt wheel and mortal polish.
You can get some copies if original stickers for coil, alternator and fuel meter head if you damage any - not sure what the cabbys had if the were the same as the original tintops.

Then as Richard says, new stickers, shiny bolts and jubilees etc make all the difference.
Here's a link to where u get stainless bolts etc

Clean your washer bottle out with sand and gunk.
New washer hose for pennies.
New expansion tank hose as well.
Good rubber cleaner, I use Autoglym rubber cleaner.

The A pillar trims arent made anymore and a nightmare to get hold off.
I got the garage to remove and refit my servo as its a fair job.
