ive decided that seeing as I will be using it as a daily not like the previous owners that this maybe advantageous to do .

monkfish etc is a long way away and im sure theres going to be something more local to me.

ive sent a few emails off , but does someone know of or recommend anyone.

I live in Barnsley ,s yorks , im willing to travel say 50 miles.

Honestly, it's worth travelling to MF to get the job done properly. They remove body work and separate components from the chassis before applying the under seal to make sure that every nook and cranny is protected as best as possible.

There are people closer who will do it cheaper, but you get what you pay for

P.S. I live in Barnsley too smile

Got to agree with pah250. Monkfish are not cheap, but it's thorough.

With undersealing, it's not the bits that you can see that matter.

ive spoke to monkfish.. I don't think I can warrant the cost of the job. plus the travel there and back twice
as it takes a week.

spoken to a classic specialist he does it everyday ,he does the same if not a more thorough job with the same products for 40% of the price.hes got me in for a cancellation as hes booked until November.

I may blast it off myself and check for any bad spots and treat it to stop it getting anyworse.

and pah250... yellow vxr8. ???

Fair do - as long as the job is done right that's what matters.

Yes, I have the yellow vxr8. There is a silver vxr8 in town too, and a blue cv8/monaro both on this forum. Then also a fella with a red vxr8 who isn't on the forum. Quite the little community we're building smile

As a guide line Evo specialists charge £180 plus vat to underseal and that includes dropping exhaust, prop, heat shields and fuel tanks to do the chassis properly. They are also seriously prone to rust and undersealing is essential on them !!

Some cars have mega surface rust so wire brushing and rust treatment adds to the cost but I'm yet too see one exceed £450 ish.

cool

We need to arrange a mini meet. We did one in Donny a few years ago and it was a decent turnout given how sparce we're spread.

These guys are highly regarded for undersealing, however its about the same distance north as Monkfish is south.
