After a lot of hours I have the majority of the engine bay in POR15 primer. I’ve left the lowest sections of the bay in a rough state because there still some work to do to bring the shell back to bare metal and treat it properly with POR15.

The next job will be to start sitting some of the components and parts back on to make sure no more adjustments or modifications are going to be needed before the final top coats go on. With this bit of work paused, it’s been back into the interior to work on the exhaust tunnel. As I am definitely going to be running the Satchshift, decided that I might as well do a proper job of it. So started to tidy things up.

Butt joined in some filler plates and welded in the Satchshift base plate. Needs some tidying up (and some better photos taking), but you get the idea that it should be a bit lighter and neater than a big metal plate bolted on.
