Default Gave the underside a clean.

While having the week off after a flood in the house... I found time to drag the car out and start cleaning the underside... I started with G101 and agitated with a brush then sprayed off with the hose pipe..enjoy....








And the cars staring each other out lol.

Cheers mate.


By the time I've replaced all the poly bushes had the underside painted.. Then had all the components shot blasted and powder coated that's where the money soon adds up... I'll be doing all the labour myself...I'm doing it properly not no hammerite job.
