During last summer, we broke Kermit's engine / gearbox mount. Sorry, sorry, _I_ broke the engine mount.
Anyway it's currently sitting on our fireplace, Charlie has the idea of putting it into a frame (!). Any ideas about how to preserve it?

Its made by Ford, there is no way to preserve it, rust is inevitable ;)
I suppose it might make a useable paperweight/doorstop if you clean it up a bit.
Ya, but she wants a funky case thingie that we'll bolt it in... :)
Cover it in WD40. It makes a fine invisible shield, it'll make it extra shiny.
Or, paint it with clear nail-varnish for a more permanent version of the above.
Set it in a solid block of poly casting resin, should be able to get it fairly clear, and you can use it as a very posh paperweight
Now that's an idea!
