At this stage I collected all the rest of the rusty bits I could find lying around, and which were vaguely chassis-related, and took them down for sand-blasting.
I used cloth tape over the exposed seals on the front axles, and this worked very well to protect them.
Then it was just a case of cold gal, etch prime and top coat again.
The axles were a bit of fun to move around by myself, but other than that it was a very straight-forward job.
