the waxoil that was on was strange stuff i had to brush petrol on then thinners straight away because the waxoil just would not move!!!! the floor has no welding anywhere and it only had a few scabs on from when it had the polybushes done and they must of scraped the waxoil off!!! the whole underside is in stoneguard now the engine bay and wings are in primer i will get some more pics when i have time

Was gonna say that Jacko powdercoat isnt a 100% even coating the slightest bit of run out will give you a bad judder. Car looks awsome Chunk cleanest 3 door ive seen for ages keep the pics coming!
