In the past I've used cheap plant sprays because you can only use them a couple of times before they clog up and have to be thrown away. I leave the Waxoyl tin in a bowl of very hot water until it thins enough to spray. 
Thanks for the tip Joe - I don't have enough space to swing a cat in my garage, let alone a compressor with spray gun. I used one of those pump up pesticide spray cans. Thinned back the waxoyl a bit, heated up and it went on a treat. That's the rear nearside done, crud wiped, checked for rot and holes and re-treated. Good tip.

OK not as good as the original thin coat, so the red chassis now looks like a more fetching pink, but I think it will do the job and doesn't look too awful.
Brakes all done now - don't think they are binding and now more travel on handbrake lever and brake pedal, so final thing will be a little bleeding.
Overall, a job done feeling - so now onto the fronts!

Did you send them off for a refurb or strip and clean yourself? I can recommend the Gunson Eezibleed for when you come to bleed off the brakes. I always this was a bit of a kop-out, but now i'm converted. It just make the job so easy Spent three hours this afternoon with my head up my own wheel-arch fighting the old copper pipe and rubber hoses off the driver's side. Beats going to the gym I suppose
Pete - not too easy to tell from your photo but I think your pusher plate might be on the wrong way around. Have a look at Phillpot's post on here...

Not as wrong as my old ones were though ... opps

But I'm not sure how you're going to steer it with the steering wheel positioned on the front offside wing!
