Hi.
finished undersealing the arches on the civic. Thought id put up some pics on how it went.
My car isn't rusty but i undersealed it anyway due to the upcoming winter. its more of a rust prevention method so i'll see how it fares out in the long run.
i am a bit short on pics of the actual undersealing:nerv:
Before anyone undertakes the job i will say its very messy:p

great work man! thats a good idea tbh, never know with the weather in the UK :( think I will do the same myself, got a wee tiny bit of rust coming through on the ej so maybe need to investigate

EDIT: car looks amazin man :))
 
Nice work, the car is in great shape.
Messy business that undersealing.
You could try waxoyling the interior of the panels also.
Keep up the good work.

thanks,you should attack the rust now before the salt and water that is associated with the winter makes it worse:nice:

@D.R

Mine is still really clean underneath but I think I might underseal , still not sure.

Probably gonna buy a vitara/escudo for the winter and park the car away nice and snug
