RUST PROOFING
Legionnaire:
Many thanks for the advise on welding, I have left the appropriate parts clear to have welded and then treat afterwards.
I have just finished waxoyling, for the most of the underbody I have used a 3 ltr pressure pump from a garden centre, once the waxoyl was heated enough to be like water it went on a treat and I could get in all those out of the way places and inside the chassis. We have spent the longest time cleaning the floor, its very messy.

Park on top of a large cheap tarpaulin (the blue polyester(?) ones) before you start. Then throwaway or save for next time.
bovaboy:
how much waxoyl did you need to use? And what was the total cost inclusing pump?
Wanderer:
Missed the original thread.
If you go to a motor factors you can get a shultz gun with an adapter to spray waxoil. It has a length of plastic pipe that can be lengthened and stuck through the various holes in the chassis.

I used the following:-
2 x 5 ltr Waxoil £29.08 total
1 1/2 ltr Finigans no 1 £21.00 total (for 2 ltrs)
2 ltr white spirit £1.87
Latex gloves £3.00/box
2 x Finigans no 1 spray £5.62 total
I bought a waxoil Jumbo spray £7.01 but didnt use it, I used a garden pressure pump spray it was so easy(it was in the shed at home, my wife hasnt missed it yet!!)
£221.00 for the rear cross member replacing and back of chassis repairs found whilst preparing to waxoy which were unexpected costs but at least it looks better and the rear end wont come off next time I tow or am towed out (embarrasing or what!)
Hope this helps
Andrew
