 Re: rust proofing
it's a mission how far do you go???
i think on mine as i have the body of the chassis and replaced most of the bottom of the car i'm cleaning and sealing every join and seam with a heavy mastik then i'll spray shotzz under body sealer paint all underneath
on the axles and running gear (after shotblasting) i just put hamerite black on it ya need at least 3 coats tho 2 coats is not enough

 Re: rust proofing
How about using POR 15 ?? Heard it has good rust protection properties.

 Re: rust proofing
You have done well for 28 years so put the mud back on and you'll be right for the next 28 years

It looks very good but it is to stiff and will flake off in small bits. Once the POR 15 is broken water is finding its way in underneath rusting the metal Nothing beats oil. Look underneath the chassis on old cars with leaking engines. Chassis all the way down to the spring pots has no rust at all.

 Re: rust proofing
Yes, i've heard mix reviews about POR 15; some rave about it & others say it's overrated.
What i want to know is what the best plan of attack for protecting the chassis, as it stands there's virtually no protection.
Shall i continue scraping the underseal off from under the rear arches? If so what shall i treat the surface rust with? Then what shall i use to give it a durable, protective rust proof coating?
With the suspension arms - would 'chassis black' paint suffice & then waxoyl or similar over the top? I know Harry mentioned he used Hammerite on his, but i've never really got on with it.
cheers
