Okey so i started to work on that rear beam
took off most of the sh!tty rust in order to make sure it wasnt fcuked ... (seems clean enough )
then give it a lick of paint
(its that metal paint hamerite or something i cant spell for poo ) :L ps the hole beam was like the discs :L dont worry they are being changed!
think imma do the new battery try i got too in the hammerite and give it a go sticking it in rear beam needs to wait
also put new led side bulbs in (which was sh!t cauz i near broke them ... )
and my darker lenses

It's not called a rear beam,
It's called a rear axle

oh and when you going to fit this rear beam
as i want to see if you have any brake fade problems or rear disc lockup with your brakes as you have 2.0 brakes on the front and on the rear, and i'd like to copy that same setup
but want to wotch someone do it to theirs first
