Underneath rust - Wirebrush
 
Hi guys,
My scooby is suffering from quite harsh rust and corrosion all underneath but after passing the MOT, the inspector said that its mainly visual that is affected.
I want to ask if anyone knows a place in London or around where i can get it wirebrushed, reseal the arches and get it protected for future winters?
Many thanks

any decent garage should be able to do this, failing that save yourself the hassle and get it up on axle stands and crack on yourself?

I remember seeing ads for such in land rover and classic car magazines, try a google for your area.

Is it a classic? Do you have rust bubbles on the arches? If so I highly doubt it will be just surface rust.

I know a few local garages round me will remove the diff and do behind that but you get more pleasure out of it yourself,,, well red eyes anyway

It may be a ball ache of a job to do your self, but I would never trust any garage to do rust removal or treatment as it aint there car and id suspect it would just get "a bit of a do" as its not there car.

Its the kind of job that needs doing right, and that means doing it yourself im afraid.
