Underbody restoration e46

[RC1]

Both my e46s now need some attention. I had a quote from Redish but its more than i can afford. Is it realistic to expect a decent resto job that will give me a 5-10 more years of motoring without stuff falling off for 3-5k? id want the subframe dropped and small stuff replaced and the body surfaces to be prepped and finished etc rather than just blastic the underside with some sticky gooey wax stuff

im thinking about places in the north ie yorks vs south east and whether it makes sense to get it done where labour rates are cheaper

anyone with direct experience?

will do
i had redish do an racp inspection two years back all clear so i dont need structural work just rust treatment in the main
