Bring it back to life, Axle restoration

So as i said before this car will need a good restoration since it has been abused a bit.
The first thing that i decded to work on was the axle.
Since i'd like that this Corolla to be spotless i started from 0.
I'm not a professional mecanic or carguy but here is how i decided to approac the axle restoration.


1 Removed all the rust and dirt with a metal wire cup.
2 Sprayed Ferox ( rust converter ) all over it.
3 Painted with a very rust resistent and thick paint made for usage on chassie or boat.
4 Sprypainted a normal paint just as a color finish.


Here some photos.
