You cant post a pic but using the quick reply box at the bottom

Don't know, might be a bit windy around the nether regions? 
Looks great, should come out very nicely. Keep us in the loop.

Looks like there is a fair bit of rust up in there. Are you going to take out the engine vent and luggage rack. I had the same type of rust issues
and couldn't really see a way of doing a decent job without removal. lot of work but worth it in the end.
