Looks canny, what did you use to get the rust off and what you using to stop it coming back?

Got two to do myself

crossed fingers

all the brackets, tubes etc are all new (well, 2 or 3 years ago maybe, but have been painted)

thats the 3rd time o've sprayed it now, so the diff casing was 'ok' for rush, had a go with nitromors, a wire brush, and de greased it, then sprayed with a thin layer of etch primer first, then some zinc primer (i know it should be on the metal, but the etc was more important i thougt) then sprayed several coats of everything.

after the third time of painting it, i decided if it comes off again, it comes off... spent far too long on this bit.

Do the welds look better this time?
(think they do, but it's hard to see)

yeah, got them redone by a welding place i found at the industrial estate. he re did the brake welds and i asked him to check over the rest. he said the others looked fine

You'll be getting the hang of it now Blake

got enough practise got impatient with it yesterday, blowing a gale outside, but i did it anyway, sprayed on too thick and it started to run, but in the words of Einstein, "F**k it"
i assume he said it at some point...

past caring what it looks like now, just want all the gears put back in so it works

In my non-expert opinion those look fine now.
