Nice work. Agree with the earlier comments - it can’t be the same diff!

What tools / process did you use
Firstly I had to remove the layers of rust, in the worse places it was 4-5mm thick, for this I used a windy chisel on low pressure the process leaves it looking like this

Then I used a stone wheel, followed by various grinders and sanders plus wire wheels to get this

If you look at the first set of pics you can see all the tools on the table

In for a penny and all that, :D, I just can't stop myself, when I start something like this I can already picture the end result and that what I strive for all the way through.
