Default Underside clean up and new wheels

I took a couple of hours aside to clean up the underside of the car today and it came up pretty well IMO. It's not concourse but its pretty well solid underneath. An advisory on the MOT is a bit of welding on one of the chassis legs which I shall get done soon.

Any one know if this is likely to be the original factory finish, either way I'm pretty pleased with the results.

While its not mega clean like some I'm pretty pleased.

Degreaser and a steam cleaner but ran out so need to get more.

If I had a ramp, I'd go for getting it pristine.

No, just a cheapy thing. Bought it a while for about Ł40. I think a decent TFR/degrear would help no end though.

For some reason its always the nsr chassis leg. Will you be dropping the beam out cause they are normally rotton under there.
