Who knows... maybe I just invited over the largest case of "flash rust the world has ever seen, but I drug my Bugeye and it's engine out into the yard to clean them up abit. The engine was a greasy mess, but cleaned up ok! Looks like before it was painted it's current red, it had the indignity of being painted Ford blue too! lol! But I did see a spec or two of austin green under there. But don't worry, I do have a fresh can of AG from Moss to remedy that. Hopefully, soon I'll crack it open to see what lurks within. When I got it, it was frozen and I worked it free with MMM oil. We'll see. I also powerwashed the engine bay. It was kinda fun to see some of the original OEW start appearing through the grime and black rattle can paint job.

Here are a few photos....

You know... it's been tucked away in the garage so long, I forgot how small it actually is! Cool!
