yh hot water and bleech should do the trick pop in in to a bucket and leave for 24hr's, as much as you like tbh, the more the use the stronger it will be so the better the resualt

Bout time i done a update as its bein 2weeks since last time. so here goes.
first of all was to finish wireing the engine up and fit fan,exhaust,water bottle ect. didnt want to fit my manifold as its stil not repaird as yet but i just want to get it all up and running.allso swapped my rocker cover over for the polished 1 so i could begin to prep the yellow 1 ready for painting so once that was all done i got started on the roll bar/suspension brakes also fitted with new ball joints,track rod ends. then fitted oil cooler.
then i was looking on how to go about fitting the plugs for digi dash :-s and sein as the loom out the original 1 had them wired in plus had the clifford alam i decide'd to swap the whole interior loom over so out came the interior out the new 1 and dash then followd buy the ls loom then replaced by the new 1. still got to fit all the dash back in and then the interior. allso bein refurbing the cesaro's ready for painting just got 1 left to do.
pics to follow 2night.
