My Cossie has been stood for almost a year & although inside its got surface rust underneath. Is there a company out there that can tart this up a bit. Dont need a full resto as its not bad but is annoying.
I would normally do this myself but not sure i will be able to do it any time soon.

Cheers Rod

 

Ford in Sheffield did mine mate.

 

surely you must have a contact that can do this sort of thing Rod?

what about Andy Robinson cars? http://www.robinson-race-cars.co.uk/ he's in your neck of the woods, not sure if he does this sort of thing though

 

andy robinson dosent have any thing to do with painting

 

Will x sport not do it for you rod

 

I dont really. For paint i use a company in Reading, this is just a tart up underside. Remember a company on here that did just what i want but it was years ago. Ive always done this sort of thing myself but im struggling with my arm & it may not improve much more im told so arms in air aint going to happen .

 

It can turn in to a mammoth job as i've just started mine thinking it was just a quick clean but once you start digging you find other area's that may as well be done whilst your under there making the job a lot bigger than originally thought.

I've seen work done by COSSIECRAZY the escort Cosworth registrar - he's up in Stoke on trent though but his work seems good, i've seen a few car done by him

i am sure paul at north yorks spares offered this sort of thing before.
and im sure the prices he qouted were more than reasonable.
Matts 3dr looks a brilliant job also

 

it can turn into a very big job as said, as really do it properly everything from underneath has to be taken out

all depends on how far you want to go with it

 

I remember that too Rod - I think the company were up in Derby though?

 

If i've read this right and looking at what Rods car is built for i would presume he is after a clean but not concours finish cleaning up the surface rust area's and making sure it's fully solid then choosing either underseal or paint

I've gone for schultz underseal as the car is black and the floor is clean and straight so the finish from the gun will be nice enough and everything else powdercoated satin black - not proper concours but preserved for the future

 

Not far .

Its one year of surface rust on things like shafts/beam etc.

 

It shouldn't rust in a year if kept right..!

 

the thing is rod if you did it you wouldnt need a ramp

you could just walk straight under it and crack on
might need to tip toe though lol

 

thing is beams and shafts etc will rust becuase they are what takes thehit from stones etc more than the floor does

but if everythigng is done correct then it should last longer than a year but it all depends if its driven in all weathers, if it is then winter time it needs cleaning a lot more regular

maybe a coat of something like wd40 to help protect it from water etc, so once its washed spray on yes it will get dirty but at least you know with a simple wash it will stillcome up like new again

its worth just doing it fully once and doing it rite as id imagine you know,then its just down to general maintenance and a clean ad keeping ontop of it, as if its not kept it will just go back to how it was

 

Drop it at mine and i'll do it, i'll need the keys though just incase I need to move it..

Good luck with the search though ..

Ginge

 

use spray tech Rod 01256 760 886 ask for Scott he does a great job

 

Thats not the one off the hook road is it on the too basingstoke side after pridys yard? and his name isent scott rolfe is it?

 

Have a word with tremona garage in southampton.ime sure they can help you out

 

believe so priory farm ?

 

I had a bad experience there many years ago just after i got my saff he did my rear arch less than a week after it started to bubble up so he did it again and the same happened again so he told me theres nothing he can do its an old car lol i told him id not let him do it again anyway! (i had it re done at moonface in hook) The best ive seen round are way is the russel brothers in andover they did my mate sys rs turbo but it did cost a lot of money but at the end of the day with paint if you pay cheap you get a cheap job

 

we have had a fair bit done by them over the year and its been 101% thats all i can say Andy tbh

 

Thanks guys
One or two suggestions there.
