| Yeah a lot of those hoses will be cleaned up and or removed. The bay was sprayed with some sort of rust protection stuff I believe at some point. There is some grime but the bay is black. |

| Yup, mainly the shock towers have the most protective coating. i can rub through the stuff on like the frame rails with a glove on. |

Bought a new oil cap today since the old one has a hose coming out of it. Then I need to register it so I can drive it and work out the kinks. |
