So some work done but usual mix of domestic and work stuff means much crammed into evenings and bits of weekends. Well enough of the excuses.
Few tasks completed.
First the fuel tank sender got a makeover. Lightly corroded but passed the float and resistance test.

Wondered what was still rattling inside and found the original rust protection. In good nick really?

Then the POR 15 kit from Frosts arrived and the sealing started.
Nice guide at

The tank had a nice lost of crud from the first degreaser clean and even more from the final water flushing.

Once the metal prep had been flushed inside used it on the outside and same with the final sealer.

Then a couple of coats of 5-year good metal paint from B&Q!

The prop shaft had a makeover and the two bearings replaced. Coat of paint for the prop shield. Need to add the additional metal straps on the flexi bearing mounts.

Duplicate of the paint on the front drive shaft on the prop short shaft.

Stripped the front shocks only need the top mounts as the rest is going to the bin.

Springs in good order but the shocks have little resistance left. Bump stops disintegrating.

Few minor tasks to do before the engine and box go back in. Quick paint for the few suspension parts that are not being replaced and the prop washer/spreaders.

New rubbers for the pedal box then it needs a good clean and cable lube.
More later….
