Yeah I had the tooth brush in there. Must have been a tad more caked than yours. Though I didn't have anything large enough to submerge it completely, and I was a tad impatience so didn't leave it to soak over night. Didn't fancy leaving it outside and I wouldn't have been aloud it in the house :lol:

Must have been baked on - looks harder to get down the end of the plenum area - a toilet brush would have been a good shout. :wink:

I didn't submerge mine and only left it about 30 mins before rinsing off. My lude must just be squeaky clean. :lol:

It's speed the whole process of getting it back on the road if I don't body lemonade ass about with the bodywork of this one, so once I've got it running and road worthy I'll then be concentrating on track prepping the silver shell the way I really want to ;-)

I think the current Milano red one will just look like how it looks now with the additional black arches ;-) The reworked silver chassis, will be a whole different colour. Saw a few colours I liked yesterday at Japfest which will suit a 4th gen a treat 8)

Oh can't I? ;-) :lol: I'm forever changing my mind on the subject anyway, so there's probably not much point mentioning it anyway lol, but if you must know, we bumped into Benny with his new EG project, (I have to say that guy works fast! :shock: He's not done much under the bonnet yet, but it sure does look the biz from the outside 8) ), and he'd had it fully resprayed externally in Nissan "Bluey Grey"...

Looks better in person though ;-) I was keen on doing a lacquered primer grey finish anyway (As I'd Photoshop'd several pages back), and this is very simular, but with a hint of blue as the name would suggest :)

Benny's did look particularly nice. I bet your current thoughts changes at least 3 times before you actually put paint to metal. :wink: :P

Benny lude did look rather nice. I think a nice flat colour like that would be cool
