              I agree, I've seen many cars, over the years, with rust spreading like wildfire under underseal! Best thing is waxoil, although this again is best applied from new, I tend to just keep any rust wet with ACF-50.

                  I think you need to sort out that filthy rear arch liner!!!!

                  After all this you're going to be afraid to drive it now I bet!!

                    Lovely job Dave!

                    I bet you're the first person to go in and ask for a dealer window sticker.I personally hate advertising of any sort on my car.

                    Let's just hope you don't curb an alloy or prang it avoiding a puddle.

                    BTW, while you are under there can you see if the handbrake cable clip on the fuel tank are replaceable?

                    Thanks

                    Si.

                      Well the dealer name is his surname so that's prob why it's more coveted as it is HUGE!!!

                      I might get down to my local BMW dealer in stockport hehe

                        As said the dealer sticker happens to be my name and replaces the previous sticker on my old glass which got changed . Many dealers no longer put stickers in windows anymore or on number plates which is illegal? so I have been told.

                        I was working on the car today but will have a look at the cable clamp on the tank which I think is stuck on?.

                          They may have stopped doing them.

                                You're not going to want to drive it again after all this work! Or have anyone want to park next to you at the next meet!
