Rust Proofing

This weekend I spent a little time rust proofing the chassis.
However First off I fitted both the steps and the drop plate to see what it looked like.
The I set about cleaning the chassis and removing all the loose rust. Below is a comparison photo - right it cleaned left is un-cleaned.
The photo below is after the cleaning.
The chassis was then sprayed in rust convertor.
While this was drying I filled the chassis with cavity wax, not my favorite job but an important part that is worth doing properly.
After this was complete I started spraying on the chassis hard wax, results are good.


Then on to the bottom of the rear tub, as this is mostly aluminum I used stone chip as this will go some way to help with sound deadening.
I will be having a bit of a break now until April as other things have taken priority, but the job list is:
  • Fit the mid cross member
  • Wax the cross member and re wax some missed spots
  • re-wire and refit the rear loom
  • Wax and refit the fuel tank
Then after these small tasks I'm on to painting the body work before refitting.
