    Cheers Adam
    just cleaned it with traffic film remover so far. I will post up some before and after pictures hopefully in the next couple of days as still waiting for some parts to arrive from Germany.

      I was told by a very well respected TVR specialist that it's crazy to underseal anything other than a brand new car, because it traps any moisture, dirt or rust and can actually help the rust to spread.

      I'm not sure which side to believe, but I think it's worth considering both points.

        No signs of body rust only on suspension parts/subframe/diff which only have a light coating of black paint on them from the factory.

                            Looking great Dave; the heat shields really finish it off nicely.

                              they come up well with some traffic film remover and a wire brush - messy job though
