Default saph cos resto

Decided to do it myself will be doing a full underside resto to as near concourse as possible everything will be replaced or refurbed all came apart fairly easy apart from the pain in the ass tank strap bolt


Think someone went a bid mad with the underseal will have fun cleaning all that off

Would have expected it to be better on the sus components due to having low miles.

With all that waxoil on there they will be perfect.


I bet the only issue will be dented front jacking points.

It's took 3 hours to clean the underseal off the front inner arches

The jacking points are slightly dented but should pull out easy enough it's all stripped now just wondering if I should drop the lump out aswell

Good oh you Dean, this car deserves the effort and someone like you to make it a complete stunner. So glad to hear it's all solid bud, that's ALWAYS a bonus matey.

Look forward to seeing it grow over the coming months

Brilliant to know it's solid Dean, tbh a 23-25yr old car will have some rusty parts, I know it stood a lot too so damp/ moisture will do it too

It'll be awesome when complete

good luck with the resto mate

when i done mine underneath all i done to the floor was cleaned and re waxoyled it again and kept the original patina underneath as it came from the factory

they can only be original the once and if it requires no welding i would try keep it standard

so are you doing all this lying on your back with the car as high as it will go on axle stands?


And you mentioned getting petrol to get it all off underneath? Are you brushing the petrol on, and scrubbing it? if so what you scrubbing it with?

Yes mate in a car port on axle stands soaked areas in petrol them borrowed an industrial steam cleaner from work

Mixture of brushing and wiping with rags using either petrol or white spirit, just use wheel brushes wire brushes etc it's taken 3 days roughly to get every last bit off
