It was dirty 
Put a refurb engine in over the winter......
So bottom half looks gleaming so now trying to bring the top half up to the same standard.
I Use the van daily so bought an old inlet manifold - refurbed it and now replaced my one.
I will then refurb my old one in the pic and maybe someone on here might find a home for it!

Quite right - I wish they would clean the roads more often!

How did you refurb it? Blast it? Paint it?

Scrubbed
Soda blasted
Painted
Sounds easy

Not sure think our next one will be Dubbing Dorset @ the end of the month.
Got some other goodies planned and awaiting manufacture before then though

is your LPG vapouriser plumbed from the carb choke top water hose? just interested looks like it is.
if so does it join from carb to bottom or top connection?
I think Brickwerks do new stickers for thaat carb trunking
