It took a while as there was a lot of it but, the dodgy bits of powder-coating and surface rust areas have been cleaned, degreased and coated with POR15 rust preventative paint.
It all looks good and should look even better when it gets the POR15 top coat, which is slightly less gloss and more of a satin (so it says on the tin anyway)
New Track rod ends are on order, as is a new steering column universal joint (which is so solid it is effectively no longer a joint)
