nice little project man! I would get the DA sander out and skim the paint off the rusty areas and treat with Krust or better still cut that shizzle out and weld in fresh :)

Krust and some hammerite anti rust primer will slow it down enough to let you decide what plan of action to remedy the red stuff.

No greater fun then backing off the throttle at 7400rpm and spraying fire out the exhaust ;)

Not a bad little motor, looks fairly clean compared to most out there, and in one of the best colours Honda did on a 4G! looks so good when buffed up!
