The diff was serious hard graft, the guy I bought it from had painted it in red lead to stop it rusting so first hit it with Nitromorse and then into every nook and cranny with a dremmel. I painted the main body with caliper paint and then powdercoated the rear diff cover using the electrostatic magic system.
Front uprights were treated to a dose of electrolysis, bearings and again caliper paint to try and handle any heat.
The engine had a complete strip down and rebuild, all parts stripped, painted and re-assembled. I did try and powder coat the rocker but it didn't come out good enough, I know where I went wrong and next time I powdercoat it I know the pitfalls. So I stripped it right back and painted it and the timing belt cover with Hammerite silver
