While waiting for the lads to email piccies prior to undersealing, I'll fast forward a few days to the current state of play.
Sunday was the big day for the undersealing. Starting with masking off the external paintwork to avoid overspray, plus the bolts & studs sticking out of the body and the suspension hanging down. As stated before, the emphasis is on a reliable and functional build rather than perfection, otherwise all parts would have been stripped.
First off, all 4 arches and along next to the sills were sprayed with a coat of stonechip. This will provide a hard wearing layer in the areas most affected by gravel blasting.
A teabreak followed while this layer dried, then the whole underside and all 4 arches were sprayed with undrseal.
The masking was then removed ASAP. Masking tape glue goes off fairly quickly and becomes difficult to remove so it's always best to mask, spray and remove in the same day.
We will still need to go over the areas obscured by the stand rails once the car has been moved on to the ramp, and touch up any bits that were missed.
Anyway, on to the pictures. 1 bottle of rust treatment, 2 tins of oxide primer, 2 tins of smootherite, 2 tins of stonechip, 5 tins of shultz later.
(This one was taken before the front panel had a second coat of smootherite)
