i would paint the diff or even a heavy degrese and clean may actually still be quiet clean and good paint. if u do paint it id probs go matt black and spray it in the car as to pull it out u have to dissconnect the hydrulic lines on the brakes and rebleed. very time consuming.
very tidy looking vp. most vn/vp's should be very similer suspension set up,at the end of the day once some one has upgraded the supsenison in both no one would feel a differnce in handling.
I didn't think of that with the diff, so yes i will paint it while it's on the car. I get tomorrow off so I will use my time wisely and get as much done as possible.
Hopefully i will have the moulds on the sides preped and painted. I still have half a tank of petrol but being a VN that will be gone in no time haha.
Once its gone the tank is coming out and will be getting painted aswell as the diff at the same time. I might even paint some more stuff while I'm under there.
I will be starting a thread for my mates XF as he reckons he doesn't know how to do it but he wants me to. It should be a good thread because he is restoring the whole car aswell as working the engine so it will be interesting.
