Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Although I have been a bit quiet on here, work has continued on the spraying of the chassis and started cleaning up the rear axle, so Q an excuse for some more sand blasting and powder coating.

Cleaning and starting to hand paint the axle casing in the epoxy paint. Considering if I should upgrade the 13.00 cc (3.89) diff.
As you can see doing one end at a time so I can reassemble the brake parts correctly.
