Nothing dramatic to mention, but here’s an update. I’ve put the interior back together as all the underseal from Wednesday’s session has now dried. I’ve had a look at the rust around the number plate lights, and am pleased to report that it’s just a bit of surface rust. I’ll attempt to source some spray paint the correct colour so I can look into this more.

I was going to look for rust underneath the rear of the car, but I got distracted by the diff, which is still leaking a touch.

So I drained it, removed the backing plate, cleaned the mating surfaces and rebuilt it with instant gasket.

I’ve removed the number plate surrounds as I decided they look a bit crap. At some point I’ll get some nice new number plates made up.
