Next! The Engine and Engine compartment
I started with the valve cover and air filter element. Hand sanding with rough sand paper 60 grit then 100 grit medium grit. I then used Rustoleum Flat Light Gray Auto Primer and then let both items dry for about 4 hours. Then for the finishing touch this paint by Rustoleum called 500 hundred Degree Engine Enamel really looks super! Now I just need some more elbow grease to finish up the engine compartment. It is kind of overwhelming but if you think to do one item or an area at the time you will eventually finish up!
What a difference!

Rusty trunk! Urggh!
My old 1976 MGB is finally being taken care for! The bottom surface of the trunk is oily, rusty with paint peeling. I am using course sand paper about 60 grade, on the non-oily surfaces. Then I use a 100 grade sandpaper. It's not a pretty sight and I am posting some pictures of the trunk's condition.
This is near the gas nozzle:
This image is from the whole trunk view, with the exception of the bottom of the trunk, the trunk overall isn't too bad for a 30 year old car.
I find that Simple Green has a great product to remove surface grease from the trunk of my car. I mix Simple Green Max (which is non toxic) I apply it with a sponge to get the oil of the surface of the trunk and rinse it. On a hot day it dries fairly quickly.
