Started stripping the car. Parts are going to get powder coaters.

Im going for black. The head, gear carrier and the cover that goes behind the gear. Still deciding on what else to have black.
I want the crank case done too but its knackered so a new one is on the to buy list.

Will post pictures when received back from Keith.
