Lol in my defence we did hit 38.8 degrees here last week. Our hottest day ever apparently.

bit of work tidying a few things up.
Steering rack before: After a bit of hammerite. Anti roll bar Before After Struts just got jetwashed and de-greased. Hard to believe these units have done over 300,000kms they look like new. Suspension will all be revisited at somepoint. The plan is for some decent coilovers and to get it all polybushed. Although I'm amazed considering the amount of Kms this car has done that all the OEM bushes seem to be in good order with very little wear.

Is that surface rust that was on the steering rack? Is it caused by the shit on the UK roads?

No I remember that being bad when I bought the car.
If it had been from the roads there would be other similar areas on the car such as the ARBs etc. Hubs are covered but I'd expect that on them but they are cleaning up ok so I'm not concerned about them.

A little update..
Car is now fully undersealed and painted so time for reassambly. Although I needed to tackle the fuel system whilst the fuel tank was off the car. I wanted to do things a little different this time round. Rather than run rubber fuel hose through the car I decided to use the factory hard lines to eliminate the constant fuel smell in the car. The factory feed line is not big enough on it's own for my fuel requirements so I decided to get a little creative. As I no longer need the breather line this can now be used as a return line and I have combined the factory feed and return lines and now*have two 8mm (OD) feed lines. Just had to cut the hard lines to allow for AN06 fittings to be used from the fuel filter forwards. All in all a pretty neat solution. Will look great once the boot is painted and all the fittings hoses replaced with new ones.

"Constant smell of fuel in the car"!
Agree, factory hard lines would be better than rubber. Now in my (limited) experience of leaks, fuel, water, .. rather than the lines the problem is usually with the connections. |

I had a single AN8 braided rubber line through the car previously and used the factory hardline for the return.
Fuel will permeate rubber lines so although not leaking the fuel smell will seep through them. I could have used teflon lines instead but using the OEM hardlines is a better solution for me. All joins will be outside the cabin except the ones in the boot but the boot is going to be firewalled and sealed anyway.

Quick update.
Underneath of the car is pretty much done now. The main aim of this was to protect the underside of the car for years to come. I also took the opportunity to make it look a bit better. To be fair I could have gone a lot further and made it look a bit bling but I also want to keep it as near to original as I can. I opted to use a bit of colour on a few choice bits just to break it up a bit. I'm happy with the end result. A before and after comparison.
