Looks like a lot of elbow grease has been expended. Hope you have heat in your garage.

I normally do not heat my garage.

I have a homemade 10 kW heater that I use very occasionally, like when
it is very cold and I need to work for an hour in the garage.

I try to keep the garage closed, and it is attached to the house, so
condensation is not so bad. I try to use rust preventive oils where
possible.

Right now, the lathe has a lot of bare metal exposed that I do not
want to oil, plus I work in the garage on it a lot, so I just put a
room heater in it to prevent rust and to make it a little more
comfortable. Now it is at 40-45 degrees or so.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will make a final determination as to
whether this lathe is usable as it is (which seems to be the case) and
finish cleaning, so I could paint what is paintable and oil what is
not paintable, then I can turn the room heater off.
