Thanks for the encouragement everyone
Right updates.
I had a lot of pics go awol last week, when my phone cam swithed to bizarre setting and just forgot to take the pics I was happily snapping away at.
Didn't lose anything major fortunately.

I have been plodding away with painting all the undercarriage for the last few days.
I had to wait to start painting for the diff to come back with new seals in it, but it's all painted with por 15 now.



Various selection of bits either painted or awaiting paint.



Exhaust.





Rear beam.



Rear arms painted and reassembled.



I lashed some hammerite spray on the springs. It wont last, but looks nice for while.
