underbody referb company
can anyone recommend a very good underbody strip down and tart up company in the south wales area? I am looking at getting the underside of my P1 re-sealed, all the bits powder coated new suspension fitted, hubs cleaned and so on and I am looking into the possibility of getting someone to do it as I just do not have the time to get it all sorted.
Anyone know any good powder coating, zinc plating companies in wales too?
I am only saying wales as i live there but if anyone can recommend anyone outside who are good at what they do then I would look into giving it to them to do too

I know a good classic car restoration garage. It's in lancashire, but may be worth the travel for you. I'm sure they give you a courtesy car too. But tbh id imagine you'd be looking at a couple of grand to have such a job completed. If you need the info there web site is

Another option would be to take it to a car cleaning garage that has a ramp. I took my mums blob STi to one in Bath.
The car was bought as a gamble and had been laid up in the country for years. As you can imagine it was disgusting under there. I tried numerous companies prior but was getting quotes around £500.
The bloke spent 45mins spraying it off and it came out looking brand new.
Once he was done you can use your own choice of sealent/protection.
They charged us a whole £20 for their work

Big money to save if you can task the job in hand
If your not time sensitive , on a ramp is ideal , but you could take it as 2 projects / front/ rear / everything off , stripped , painted , replaced , bushes joints etc
Once completed , on a trailer to a alignment centre for everything tightened & dialled inn.
It's a big job wich will take time , & the cost will add up once you start .But the results will be very rewarding
