1159979 2010-12-09 06:28:00 An industrial steam cleaner is a cross between a steam cleaner and a pressure washer, so not quite like a wallpaper steamer at all. Often used by mechanics (in the UK especially) to clean crud from an engine prior to working in it

sorry, didn't realize you were talking about an industrial steam cleaner. now that would/could work.

i'll see if there are any in wellington

1159981 2010-12-09 06:56:00 Sandblasting quite cool when I was restoring 29 Model A you could see part numbers and manufacturer logos appear under 70 years of rust and paint on some of the parts. prefect (6291)
1159982 2010-12-09 07:05:00 Yeah, SB'ing it will be my No. 1 Choice. nice quick and simple. i'll put on a coat of rust paint after then a light sand and on goes the final colour, any ideas? The pump is also going to be a minor vintage show piece, the gear box was originally red but the pump is green, should I do red, or dark green. I was also thinking navy blue or satin black?

Not too sure, I have seen pumps & engines done in all those colours.

Coming right up, sorry about flash and bad image quality, it was cold and I was in a hurry. sheds aren't a great place to be at night, sorry about no earlier pics, I forgot that not everyone knows what a McEwans HI port pump looks like :D

A couple of the packaging printers in WGTN have used it to clean off uv ink with great results, brings a machine back to new condition.
