Food for thought...

While waiting for the screws & motors to arrive, should I strip her down to the bones and clean / paint the old girl ;)

Would take a bit of effort as it would need space clearing to get the engine hoist in to lift the head, ram, collar, bed and knee off.

Could be useful as it would allow me to check for worn out bits, split lube pipes etc.. Would also make the build and wiring a cleaner job by getting rid of the grime and muck.

Hmm....
