Ok bit of an update - along with the rear axle removed also now fuel craddle and fuel tank have been removed so the complete rear end is stripped now!

First of all i wire brushed drilled all of the lose rust and shit off from the underside of the spare wheel well and bootfloor above where the tank sits





This is by no means going to be a concourse finish show car but just a good tidy up and smarten up the rear end.

Now with most of the lose rust etc removed i gave the rear underside its 1st coat of hamerite black under body seal.





I left that for afew days to dry and then tacked the underside above where beam sits and painted that too along with giving the wheel well and boot floor a 2nd coat of paint.





Left that now to dry and in few days will give beam section its 2nd coat and then carry on further back so in the end whole underside will be painted and undersealed.
