Cleaning The Engine Bay

Having pulled the trick off with the engine, I thought I'd do the same with the body before it was winter, and give it spray clean.
An Uncharacteristically Empty Barn! 19 September 2015
I re-fitted the steering rack to hold the wheels parallel and, with the pump-up dollies fitted once again, was able to wheel and manoeuvre the car outside.
A Wash and Brush Up - 19 September 2015
Armed with white spirit, my Karcher and an air compressor, I set to work. 

I dismantled and removed the extra heat shielding that Pallas cars have on the bulkhead........


.......before drying everything off with compressed air - paying particular attention to the box sections and forcing moisture out of the holes in the bottom. Finally,  I wheeled the car back into the barn once again.


It had been ONE YEAR since I embarked on my journey.
