    yea i see there special offer is full =/ and full price E275 is dear for what it is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,544 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    They were doing it for €140 (half price) earlier in the year so maybe they'd be open to negotiation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S


    maybe but do you think 275 is very rich to wash under a car and spray seal on it

    I think they included fixing up anything small that was needed. A lad I know from an mr2 forum went to these guys and they straightened out a sill that was bent and done a few other things of that ilk.

    One 250ml tub of Kurust €10.99
    One 2.5l high pressure tin of waxoyl €25.99
    One 5l refill tin of waxoyl €39.99
    One 1L tin of hammerite underbody seal €10.99

    im talking about the rust on the seals i have the bubleing im getting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,544 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Took to long replying, was replying to a previous post to give you an idea on costs. You'd spend half the cost on materials alone.

    No idea on the sills I'm afraid.

    Retro Cars undersealed my Hilux last August and they did a great job, I also got the cavity wax (highly recommended) I have some pre, during and post photos, i'll try and post them up tomorrow

    All I can say is that its well worth the price but only if you intend on holding onto the car long term. I wouldn't even attempt to do the underseal job myself, its a awful job. I do plan on stripping the interior and treating the interior floorpan etc myself. TBH the exterior job is probably best done during the summer months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S


    why so ^ ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭kuro2k


    You need a dry surface on the chassis/body before you apply the underseal so its a job best done when its warmer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭kuro2k


    I finally managed to find a few photos

    Mud and Rust removed from wire brushing

    Crowd I mentioned above did it

    I don't really think undersealing is a diy job but I will definitely strip the interior and work on the interior floor myself next year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S
