Squeezing in about an hour a day, progress is slow. Shiny rear axle bits.

Nice shiny paint but you made the same mistake as me by painting the mating surfaces on the flange. Mine are now leaking gear oil and Its on my list to take a wire wheel to them... sorry to e a buzzkillington!

Yes, well spotted, unfortunately. Meant to not paint the sealing surface and simply forgot to mask it. The paint removal has started already - although it’s POR15 and is now chemically bonded and is an absolute bugger to strip off. I’ll settle for having the various pits, scratches and dings in the metal filled in, in the hopes of it leaking less.

Rear axle nearly complete.
I know I'm pretty new at this but isn't the axle supposed to go
underneath the frame?

Nah I’m just trying to get more ground clearance when inverted...

Tires mounted up, rims sandblasted and powder coated. The colour (RAL 9001) is whiter than limestone but that is intentional to go better with the eventual paint. Big knobby old-school tires looks good!
