Is replacing the starter similar to a bug? Are both nuts accessible from under the car? Or one in the engine compartment and the other under the car?

Tram suggests using a propane torch to warm the undercoating up, and using a scraper to remove the majority of it. Then use lacquer thinner to clean the rest off. Works very well, as I've done it myself.

Got sick of the Flat-4 BRM's on my car so I.............. made my own billet BRM's out of 6061-T6 alloy and then anodised them, fit them into BBS pattern 15 inch rims and lips.

Now I am happy with my wheels and the best part is, nobody on the planet has the same wheels as these.
