Sutty2006 Posted Thursday at 10:11 Author Share Posted Thursday at 10:11 I’ve had a break from this. Due to temperature dropping and will power leaving. Trying to do an hour an evening now. got to check the rear axle over, clean and treat the under body surface. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. the axle is dirty and there is a very small hole near the shocker mount which can be filled with the welder. I don’t want to spend too much time cleaning and repainting the axle as I don’t know how good it is. If it’s the original 1.6, it’ll go well off the mark but be utterly crap top end. I have two spare axles up my unit (1.8 and 2.0) if it comes to that.

I’ve taken the roll bar off, to clean, grind and repaint. It’s a little pitted, but meh, it will go again. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

I’ll get that cleaned off and throw some paint at it i had a box of new springs x2 that I bought well over 10 years ago. They definitely aren’t rear, maybe front so the rears need cleaning and inspecting. they don’t look toooo bad.

®evo03 Posted Thursday at 10:19 Share Posted Thursday at 10:19 They could be GTE rear springs, or aftermarket lowered. Molasses works great at removing surface rust, and is less abrasive than blasting. Would take longer in lower temperatures unless you have a way of heating. Top work, and keep her lit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Knowing I was going to be bored at work today, I hunted the garage for components to clean and paint. The only thing I found was the 19mm wheel brace. so it’s getting painted silver so I can see it 🤣 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. cleaned Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
