After bailing out early last night, I worked at the day job most of today.
So only got into the garage around 6pm.
It was chilly down there.
So I completed disassembling the rear end.
Removed the springs and shocks.
Followed by washing the shocks and chassis with petrol to get them clean and applying the Vactan rust converter to all surfaces.
I then cleaned the springs with Cif and a Scotch pad. After which I washed them down.
Hound my wash bucket had already frozen over with a 10mm thick plug.
Once washed I brought the inane put them next to my study heater to dry and warm up.
At this point Nicola had not seen what I was up to as she was getting ready to go out with work friends (I prefer to stay at home)
Then once she left....... The mouse got ready to play.
At -2'C outside, it just makes sense to paint indoors and deal with any objections tomorrow.
Hopefully I will get some time tomorrow to paint the chassis and axle.
Little by little
