Just don’t fall in!!Look at the first pic mate, couldn't have been much worse, wish I'd knew about electrocuting rust before I had started, I made a tub today but need some soda stuff to put in it
I may well take a bath in it to see if it will rejuvenate me as well as it does metal
On a more serious note I am going to do the vibration dampers as they are quite rusty,
When I was asking about the trailing arms @Sean d I meant why did you do them yourself when other bits went off to be blasted/PC?
I'm guessing blasting/PC may have scuffed up the wheel bearing and/or driveshaft where they were left in situ. And also that you didn't want the considerable hassle of removing these 2 parts to make it suitable for blasting/PC?

Anyhow. I think it looks great.
After a lot of careful preparation (we even used salt neutraliser) I'm spraying up the front end suspension components on my project car with Epoxy Mastic 121 tomorrow night. I'll be very happy if they look even half as good as yours. And exciting stuff for me as it will be the first time I've used a big boys spray gun with a compressor

Don't know about exciting. People, that's for sure.
Yes you are correct Robert, I didn't want to risk the diff due to the open ends where the half shafts go in and didn't want to remove the wheel bearings and would have also had to remove the abs sensors which would have meant destruction.
