She's all cleaned up and ready for primer. My usuall three stage cleaning process of a good scrub with Fairy Liquid (some of you are cringing at this) a scrub through with Flash ( the one without Pledge in it) and a final wash off in Isopyl Alcohol.

Then the kettle lid refused to open and subsequently fell apart and the rubber seal on the oven door fell off.
