Rear Chassis.
I have now finished cleaning the surface rust and crud from the rear half of the chassis and back axle along with the rear springs
and given them a coat of paint . I used Hammerite satin black I think it looks splendid. I have used it before with very good and long lasting results.
I have not used it on the springs as I think it is too thick I have just cleaned, de-rusted and lubricated them with vegetable oil it has always worked for me before.
New plywood floor and inner wings next . Still trying to find new shockers which I would like to fit before the new floor as access is much simpler. While trying to track them down I will clean the rest of the chassis each side and fit the new battery tray and re fit the fuel tank which I have flushed out and painted .I will make up a new fuel pipe at the same time as there is an old fracture joined by a small flexible section near to the tank although it has been like it for years with out any problem.
