Long time no update!

Not much to report really...

Although rust free, the underside and arches were starting to get me down:



So I scrubbed everything back, treated any surface corrosion I could find, and primed with some Bilt Hamber heavy duty primer:



Followed by several coats of Masterguard stonechip, and then a few coats of Sunburst red:



Starting to look the part now, so I couldn't put the manky dampers and springs back on. Luckily these turned up as NOS:



Built up with some Compbrake solid top mounts:

And on they go:





New steering rack to go on as well, and I've since tidied up the overspray and painted the brake lines.

Now just the other three corners to go!
