Right this has become a total ball ache. Car is in bits!
Biggest headache was the amount of waxoyl I sprayed on it x years ago, has kept it in good nick but it's a real pain cleaning it all off to paint it.
Turned into a full nut & bolt job, no point expending this much energy not to do it right.
Most of the underseal off and a fair bit back to bare metal, good paint, any slight surface rust treated and a couple of coats of rusta bond in place.

Plan to use Jotun hard flex marine paint, traffic red should be near enough. Will cover it all then use stone guard and then cover it all red.

Hubs and carriers in bits.. is it feasible to have the carriers powder coated with the bearing tracks? in place.

After the last resto maybe 14 years ago, I'm not entirely convinced about powder coating, seems to rust just a bit slower than a good clean and coat of paint.

Takes me back, covered in red oxide, cut o bits and so far had brake fluid & rust convertor in my eye.. why is it every time you take of the gloves and goggles you have to mess with something else
