Looking good mate ! D day is tomorrow for me. Taking my dad and dad in law for breakfast and then going to split her in half,
Question....
Can someone explain what the difference is between underbody shultz, waxoil and stone chip ? I have several cans of each laying around (previous projects etc) just wondering what to use where, reason I’m asking is you’ve said you’ve painted the new arms with dinitrol. But which one and why ?Jarrod

Thks
Will they be able to move after a full Breakfast , I would need a nap
Sorry can’t help with the underseal, mines all been done with Dinitrol, inside and out of the chassis and underbody
Came highly recommended from other landy owners, Will find the Dinitrol that was used
Good luck for the weekend mate and look forward to the piccies plse

Haha they will be there as jafo’s.
No worries ref the waxoil. I just had a nose and saw how much I have kicking about and though I may as well use what I’ve got.
Sure I read someone says use an old electric kettle to warm waxoil up....
Looking under The flying lemon the rust isn’t bad. Just some surface rust here and there. I thought give those areas a go with a wire cup brush on a grinder prime with zinc rich rattle can and then coat with what ever one (I’m guessing shutz or underbody seal) hopefully someone will let us know...Jarrod

It was indeed just flaking paint and surface rust , everything was solid and no holes ,
Have read ref the sills, where mud collects it can create an area to keep an eye on as a water trap , as I removed my inner wheel arch liners and cleaned them out and sprayed more dinitrol there as well
If I had the money I would have the chassis shot blasted and dipped

Don’t know what the cost would be to have it galv, but got to admit would be an awesome project maybe spending a year doing it from chassis up
Nice to dream
How long have u allowed to get it all done plse

U was just taking ur time in forward planning
Been looking for camber angle as when I install the rear upper wishbone want to get it near as possible until I can get all re aligned
Have got a digital angle finder and wondering if I place it on the disc vertically, jack the bottom wishbone up so it’s 485mm from the centre of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel arch then tighten all the bolts up
Maybe locking off the camber bolt angle to zero degrees ....
Should be able to get the torque wrench on the front and camber bolt but the other bolt think FT will be in order
As it’s the dreaded mot on the 20th don’t want any warning lights coming up

Thks once again for the fantastic help
