Midway through wire brushing the gearbox.





After wire brushing, I used wax & degreaser to wipe the gearbox clean and free of contaminents. This is after 3 coats of engine enamel primer.







And finally, 3 coats of aluminum engine enamel paint to match the engine.







About an hour in after the final coat, Melbourne weather took a turn. Thank god the paint has harden and dried but curing it will take another week. First thing I did when the weather changed was put a table over the top to protect it from the rain... which didn't happen luckily.




Here are some progress shots of the bay done by a friend.

Removed a chuck of seam sealer here and put on a thinner amount.
