Yet more degreasing, de-rusting and painting in preparation for re-assembling the front axle:

After a couple of weeks off, I got stuck into reassembling the front axle today:

What a great post. How did I miss it? I both admire and envy in equal measures. Time to start planning my retirement.
 Thank you for posting miles. Great work. |

Great progress Miles and starting to take shape really nicely sir...
I doubt I will ever be in a position to take on a re-build like this, never mind do such a super job of work on it, so it is brilliant to do it vicariously through threads such as yours, thank you for sharing your project... Rog...

Another mini milestone - being able to push the rolling chassis out into the sun again. Starting to like the look of those rusty wheels and hubs, but it could just be the thought of more painting!

Starting to come back together now after painting the engine block and some of the ancillaries:

Lots of odd jobs going on at the moment. I've fitted the Automec brake pipe set and flexible hoses, setup the steering geometry (toe in) and degreased and de-rusted the brake, clutch and throttle pedal assemblies along with the bulkhead to chassis brackets and steering arms ready for another batch of painting.

When that's done I'll get it blasted along with the wheels and they can all be painted.
