Final removed the rest of the rear end, callipers, suspension, fuel black box and the fuel pipe the whole area now ready for stripping.


You can see that the rear brake lines are still attached as I’m waiting for the brake fluid to empty before removing.
To remove the suspension I had to gain access to the top nut in the boot so decided to remove the carpets etc (something else to tweak indoors)

Now everything has been removed I can assess the rust, it appears a little worse than I was hoping but nothing to major, I should hopefully be able to rectify without to much hassle.


As I haven’t taken on a task to this scale before I thought it would be worth taking note of were everything came from

After some web searching today I’ve found a local electro plating company

and after a quick call to the owner he has told me it will cost in the region of £25 to have all my bolts, nuts etc plating in zinc.
