Engine bay repaint.... phase 4...

.....I think.
When I looked out of the window this morning it was raining so I thought 'that's put the kibosh on painting then' I thought the water would have got in the bay and I'd have to leave it, but the sun came out and about 10 o'clock I lifted the access cover and was surprised to find it was still dry.
Now if I ever say I'm going to paint the engine bay again someone either needs to come and give me a good slap or come and remove the engine first!
I got it done, as best I could, removing the rust and then applying two coats of Coo-Var, by about 3pm I was finished, and so was the painting in this section, there are two more sections to do and the bit underneath the hot water storage tank, whether I will ever complete this marathon awkward project is anybody's guess.
Partially cleaned
Another bit done











This is the hole I am working in, and that great big lump in the middle is the the engine, this was before I started any of it.                                                                                                





<<<<<<< Today I painted this bit here.












And this is it after today.


And I have put these two pictures up to remind myself it is worth it!
