I used Brake Caliper Paint, did have enamel but the guy said it would of came at real glossy which I didn't want, just want a Red without heap of glossy look etc but again will do it again if needed etc no drama, still looks better then the previous one etc.

Unless your car is fitted with a manual, it is called a flexplate, the outer teeth on these and flywheels are called the "ring gear". Yes would be a good idea to replace as it will only get damaged futher with the starter motor.

The harder you work, the more you'll appreciate what you've done.

That's pretty much my take on life anyway.

I like the black! Looks nice :D

And the engine looks great all cleaned up like that, I'd love to do the same to mine (also a white EF 'Mont lol) but I don't have the equipment, knowledge or time to have it off the road unfortunately.
