I got fed up with poor state of the car, an absolute mess, the sheer amount of coating was annoying the hell out of me. Wish I’d realised how poor a job the underbody protection I had done was, before starting to fit all my project parts. Anyway, I am where I am.
After some serious work undertaken by friends and I, over the last few months, between other things, we are almost finally back to the metal (rear bumber / crashbar still to come off) and have found an appalling state under the car that was, as I thought, solid and protected.. Make your own mind up.
Next steps: rust converter, welding, and start recoating, and reassembly of the car.
This mess was hiding under the coatings…..Make up your own mind from these photos. My Advice would be dont waste your money on coatings unless you go back to metal first….
Hopefully get more use of the 5 next year.
