Well another day passes and bit more work done to the car.
Yes i here you all cry more work done! lol
I know it's amazing it sat for months and months and now Ive been working on it most days for the last two weeks..
So today's update goes as so.
Second thick coating of stone Gard in the foot wells.
Passengers first.

So as these sat drying i thought about getting the car up onto axle stand as i needed to start cleaning up/filling all the holes i had welled up..
I started jacking the car up, then realised my jack was not really upto the job, as i wanted to get it quite high (crap draper one's not stable at all) to put on the stands so off to helfords, bought a new one that lifts to 390mm :D

So underneath i cleaned the parts up with the wire drill bits, then smothered them with the gutter sealant.
This part's from where the cage was welded in,thought best to stop any rot now!

Good stuff.
Id paint over the red oxide, then stone chip, then underseal.
Is the cage not bolted in?? (cant see any bolts/nuts?)
Fully welded mate, yeah i was thinking of hammerite paint, then SG, then US.
Ahh right.
Yeah, underneath the car just slap a load of underseal on,its not like it needs look pretty :)
Good work.
Boring jobs but very important.
