You could have eaten your dinner off the underside of mine when it was freshly imported. I wish I had got mine waxoyled/undersealed before the first British Winter. The wire worm has reared its ugly head already. At the moment it is only surface rust. Doing a DIY job should only cost about £70.

I had mine waxoyled at my local garage and it cost about £70. I think it was worth it.

Definately worth it. My 95 2nd gen was like new underneath when I got it. First thing I did was underseal and waxoyl. Did it myself - it's not hard, dont even need ramps there is that much room underneath. Do it as soon as possible whilst it is still clean. The damage that a British winter of salted roads can do is unbelievable.

Well ive bought my tin of HAMMERITE to paint up all the bits that are now down to metal through offroading. 2 Sets of ramps gets the surf nice & high so you dont have to struggle.

Get done before winter comes. You can see the small areas I missed are going rusty already.....

Bought a 5ltr can of waxoil from an autojumble for £14 and it only took half of it to give her a good dosing (the Surf that is).
