Haven't done any work on 'B' for a few weeks but I've spent some time getting a rainwater tank and installing it, gutters (never had them before) and a pressure pump with a piped tap outlet.
As I probably mentioned before, we're on level 4 water restrictions as of Oct' 1, which means no external use of town water.
This was restricting what I could do on the 'B' as I'm in 'full-on' dismantle and cleaning mode.
Anyway, I'm now set to go and I'm back into it now.
I removed the remaining stuff - pedal box, coil, hydraulic bits, regulator, wiring harness etc. from the engine bay and its ready to hit with some high pressure cleaning to get rid of the gunk prior to wire brushing, primeing and painting.
I plan to take out the dash, with every thing still attached so I can really go nuts with the water blaster and not damage anything.
So it's all GO, GO, GO now!
PS One small issue. Under the pedal box there is some sign of previous rust that has been 'touched up'. I'm conscious that this part needs to be firm and strong, so I will look at it carefully after cleaning up and I will probably weld a strengthening frame of some discription to the underside to make sure that it is not going to flex or fail, given that this may effect my ability to stop.
