Carrying on the refresh now the evenings give me a little daylight time.
Whiteline Roll bar off and re-paint for the 2nd time in about 8 years. Decided to go for Gold this time after changing the stock silver to red last time.
Not a great finish due to the original finish being pretty poor and rust does tend to like sprung steel.
Gave it a rotary sand back to bear metal, which is pretty pitted TBH, a hand brush coat of smoothrite to try and hold back the rust, followed by a top spray coat in gold (same as brake disk hubs....a bit of a theme starting here.....).
Hanging up to dry......
PowerFlex drop links had a strip down and quick clean :
Brackets and fittings.
All fixings are being replaced with stainless. Brackets will get a re-paint for now. May get powder coated later after I have visited 'Hastings Powder & Paint' for some prices.
Spare wheel underside, rear of rear inner wings and chassis rails all brushed off, wiped down with white spirit and cleaned up and ready for paint.
Underseal applied to vunerable area's / seams and where there was little coverage on the chassis rails.
At some point the exhaust backbox will come off and I will clean up all the brackets, use stainless fittings and polish up the heatshield.
