JAMES VTI S

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

colm_mcm

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

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.

JAMES VTI S

do you know a rough price of the sill repair

colm_mcm

Well it's a bitch of a job and anyone that's done it has been very happy.

I know someone who did a DIY job. This was his shopping list

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
High pressure sprayer €24.49
Extension probe €6.49
One aerosol of clear waxoyl 400ml €10.99

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

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.

JAMES VTI S

i can get a loan of a 2 poster see

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.

JAMES VTI S

why so ^ ?

kuro2k

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

I finally managed to find a few photos

Mud and Rust removed from wire brushing


Pre-treatment



Remaining surface rust neutralised with rust converter



3 months after treatment

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

JAMES VTI S
