Ok so I've not really got much done in the last few weeks, was hoping all the rear end would be completed by now, truth is I've hardly started to put it back together..
Had a spare half hour today so got the rusty brake pipe replaced, hoping to get the refurbed filler neck and subframe back on tomorrow :)

Started to bolt the powder coated sub frame back on, all the underside has been cleaned, some small patches of surface rust stripped back treated and painted and then all covered with white stonechip, really pleased with the finish :)

The diff has been cleaned and painted also.

Made a bit more progress this weekend :)

Cleaned the driveshafts up and painted them, quite pleased with the look now

Coming along nicely now. Will get the trailing arms put on this afternoon. Hoping to get some uprated anti roll bars to go on while I'm at it :thumb:

The old red and black combo - like a tarts underwear - but looks the dogs danglies. Not sure I'd be happy with a white underside though. Whilst it looks mint I'd get fed up of keeping it clean, white wheels are bad enough:wonder:

Haha yeah I couldn't resist the red black combo :)

Yeah I know it's going to be hard to keep clean, but as its only a sunny weekend car it shouldn't get to bad along as I pressure wash it off regularly :)
