rust

I managed to get my car into work on the weekend to check underneath for the dreaded rust and just wondered what everyone elses uk cars were looking like on the bottom. Mine wasnt to bad, quite a lot of surface rust on the sills, in the rear wheel arches, above the rear axle and above the fuel tank. My diff cooler and the metals pipes were in really bad shape aswell. just thought it might be worth you guys checking out as i think rust is a major issue.

That's going to be my next project, pipe work will be OK as all brake and fuel lines have all been replaced along with diff cooler & plumbing, also changed out the rear strong bar behind the bumber, fuel tank cover looks rough so will change out at some stage, jacking points a little damaged due to some dick head jacking her up from the wrong point, looking to get her grit/dry blasted and re-under sealed, if anyone know somewhere in the north east that will take this on please let me know.

Im almost done on the bottom of mine now. Ive pretty much gutted the entire car and shot blasted every bit of rust i can find, applied rust treatment, put on etch primer, high build primer, white top coat, fresh seam sealer, underseal and filled it up with wax oil. Hopefully it will be worth it as i never want to do it again! lol
