Here's an idea

By design the wedges traps mud/dirt etc in the outriggers, particularly the front leading to the dreaded rust bug, as you cannot remove the sills on the 400SE you have no idea what is happening and although mine sailed through numerous MOT's and looked solid from below the rust worm munched away at the corners. Now having done the chassis and coated it in primer, hammerite, waxoyl, more waxoyl and even more waxoyl I made up some mud guards to eliviate the ingress of dirt.


Also while the body was off I installed heat shields in the engine bay and fabricated aluminium tubing to replace the small bore rubber hoses.




Only issue is the engine bay looks good, the chassis looks good but the paintwork still looks cr4p !!!!

All good mods mate...I would of liked to wrapped some insulation around the chassis rails that are close to the downpipes..Unfortunately paint was knocked off when they were fitted so i will have to sort that first...Ziga

Hi Mark
Yep did that as well, I purchased high temp rust proofing aka wax so heavy coat underneath before I wrapped in the heatproof cloth, I used stainless tie wraps which is a hit or miss, for every 5 you use you get on tight enough !
