Then where I work we have a few lockup garages and one came spare so I got to keep it and gave myself a bit of a project at the same time,
I didn't post anything as I was going as didn't want ot jinx it, but now it's all done MOT passed and back on the road,
up in the spare garage
diesel tank down
back axle out
the rust - and yes the back axle mount is missing as when the axle came off it came off with it - MUCH rustier than expected
The jig I made to locate the new bracket so it could be welded in the right place
Studs hanging down to locate the bracket
The chap who welded it
New bracket in place
An evenings painting with bondaprimer - kurust went on first and sikaflex and then stone chip went on after
Second coat
Cleaned up the back axle while it was out, lick of Kurust primer and black paint should do it, and new discs
Airfix kit of bits ready to go back on, used the pallet with some castor wheels on it to roll the back axle back under the car so it was just under all the mounting holes
Before and after underneath
Back on the road, MOT'd and all running smoothly again, with a slightly firmer back corner!
