doesnt look too bad but its hard to tell in the pics. what do you think the rivet looking dots on the rockers are from?

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 February 13th 2012, 8:35 pm

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 February 13th 2012, 8:37 pm

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 February 13th 2012, 8:58 pm

Here is a shot of the engine bay right now. Jake and I took the old carb off and unbolted the manifold. This is gonna clean the bay up a lot.

I guess I'm going to have to go to the bars with you guys so I can find out when you'll be doing stuff.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 4th 2012, 7:25 pm

Or just ask what's going on.

I was working on it by myself, Jake came over before we left for the bar and decided to help.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 12:12 am

holy hoses! i thought my 1.8t was bad. some of that stuff can get hidden/removed i know it! and i bet there is mint mahogany maint under all that dust/grime.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 12:19 am

Yeah a lot of those hoses will be cleaned up and or removed. The bay was sprayed with some sort of rust protection stuff I believe at some point. There is some grime but the bay is black.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 12:56 am

oh its hard to tell in the pic. i saw the red coming through at the rf shock tower so i figured it was just really dirty.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 12:58 am

Yup, mainly the shock towers have the most protective coating. i can rub through the stuff on like the frame rails with a glove on.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 1:02 am

soak it with mineral spirits and i bet it will all come right off with a pressure washer.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 1:04 am

Your prolly right, its peeling up in numerous places. It did its job though, rust free engine bay!

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 March 5th 2012, 1:07 am

Yes that is the best spot for structural rust prevention on mk1's! i hope they did the underside too.

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 April 9th 2012, 10:47 pm

any updates as its gettin nice out now?

Subject: Re: Mahogany MK1 April 9th 2012, 10:58 pm

Yup, it runs!

Bought a new oil cap today since the old one has a hose coming out of it. Then I need to register it so I can drive it and work out the kinks.
