Lee, you don't have to paint EVERYTHING....that would be ridiculous.🙄
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yes Greg I do...

and black isn't My favorite colour.. especially flat black.. 😂

but a fellow in the USA believed My engine would be running hotter because My cylinders were painted silver instead of black.
Maybe because all old wood stoves with ovens etc were all black
??

It just makes pulling apart and putting back together very difficult..😂 LEE

Lee, you could try doing your engine assembly with the lights on :- you do have electricity in Scone, don't you?
