Awesome thread Sir.
What do you use for underbody sealing your car? I have all clear what you use for arch and sills cavity. What is the correct steps to do it by your own?

Hi, it’s all back up in the thread somewhere but summary of stages:

- back to metal with wire brush in angle grinder and drill.
- repair any corrosion - not skim over, repair.
- 2k epoxy- I use 121 chassis mastic from rust.co.uk
- Raptor - this is tinted to ‘match’ the paint. It doesn’t match but looks ok.
- Inject Dinitrol ML everywhere you can. You can just about get to the back of the rear arches through the boot.

Everyone has a preference for products but this is mine.
I’ve a decent compressor as I wouldn’t contemplate a job of this size out of cans.

Final blat before storage.



It’s SO sweet now.

Properly pointy and great to flick through a sequence of bends. …and on these fat profile tyres it gives you plenty of feel about which end is moving.
Not so good at high speed straight lines…

Looks wonderful - and I agree on the benefit of tyres with a decent sidewall!

It’s emerged from hibernation

Now my son is just into his second decade he can afford to insure it!

Still runs and drives beautifully and now has a front number plate that doesn’t make it look like Goofy.

Looks way better, where did you get the plate from please?

Hi, It was from Pro Plates, it’s a reflective vinyl sticker

Hi all,

Its the son here - reviving the thread, i'm pleased to say the car has come a long way since the last posts.

To put it simply, everything has been done par a paint job! An absolute dream to drive now.

Hopefully these photos work but for a better look at the restoration and some up-to-date photos checkout the insta @s2k_jdm and @s2k_mx5.
