M8 restoration

Hi all,

I have now stripped the second axle. The differential looks in much better shape in this one. I believe that after a good clean up, the bearings on this one will be fine. I'll get it blasted as well and fit new axle seals and a pinion shaft seal.

Work has just resumed again on the hull. The ring gear is complete and bolted inside the hull, and some of the plating is being fitted now. The ability to do full repairs to both sides of the hull lower channels is now apparent.
