Cheers Benn... Best get spending hadn't I how much will I need to do 1 car, I've seen the underseal sold in packs of 6 600ml cans but get the feeling that's too much.

The more the better in my eyes, the one i use comes in bags, i used 2/3 on the boot floor, 2 on each front arch... So you'll want alot.

Wow you've got some work on your hands, looking forward to seeing you sort it out though.

Cheers for the comments guys 'some work' is a bloody understatement though had a friggin nightmare today. So, I've braced the bay with wood to stop any unwanted movement and attacked the crossmember with a grinder then spent hours with a drill and chisel trying to get the awkward bits out. Word of advice for anyone thinking of giving this a go.... DON'T!!! Also, as I took all the filler off, it's turns out whoever fitted the strengthening plates can't weld for sh!t as there no fusion at all, just blobs on 1 side of the steel so the plates just peel off (can be seen in the last pics. I could start welding the new panel on tomorrow but decided I was to hammer the insides with underseal first, so until Mr postman bring it to my door that's it front panel wise. I might take the rear beam off tomorrow to strip it for powder coating.

I recomend any of the 3M sealants. THey are all over paint able.

I've just checked and it says not overpaintable

Oh, i've not found an 3M stuff that isn't. I'd keep looking. I'm guessing the "asphalt-based" means its a tar like non drying stuff.

I might just buy that for under the car and inside the bodywork, then buy some of the aerosol Paintable 3m stuff for the arches.
