Chassis clean up.
Discussion
Advice much appreciated. Waxoyl is hiding flaking chassis paint on top of rust in a few places. What's the quickest and most effective way of getting all this crud off and taking it down to bare metal before treating and re-coating? Damn waxoyl is a bugger to scrape off. Hate the stuff.

It's the other side of that triangular plate (the topside) where the devil hides!
Quite right! Would love to be able to lift the body and get to everything evil lurking on the topside of the outriggers. Just searched the forums on what this involves and it looks like a right PITA. 
Unfortunately have neither the time to do a full body off job myself, nor the money to pay someone else to do it. Talking several thousand pounds aren't we? 
And I agree with the previous post: I'd be furious too if the chassis was cleaned and painted/powder coated and then waxoyl was blasted all over it.

Really admire you guys who have the skill and patience to do this sort of thing yourself. My car is at Taylor TVR having the same treatment; fully body off, new outriggers, clean and repaint chassis (very good condition), new radiator, new steering rack, new cooling hoses and a few other bits and pieces recommended after the body was off.
I'll post up some pictures when I get it back as Dan is keeping a diary of progress in pictorial form
Look forward to seeing the pictures. What sort of cost are we looking at for this, because I might be interested too.I'll post up some pictures when I get it back as Dan is keeping a diary of progress in pictorial form
