robster-

Hi all . Took this as part of a car deal . Ongoing project as its a decent all rounder car and worth keeping for a couple years i think.

Cool Im Glasgow Sold a car to a friend and took a 2011 ex as part of the deal. Caught it in time before the rust underneath took hold Still a work in progress but surprisingly decent car for all sorts of uses

I removed my subframes and stripped all control arms and suspension components to delaminate the rust , rub down to metal and paint with rustoleum. ,once cured bath these assemblies in light oil to penetrate all of inside sections... repair the areas that were starting to corrode on chassis from inside out. Like filler neck and surrounding chassis double skinned panels , behind rear arch front road spray trim where it holds debris and rots through to inner sills, and got in about really hard to access places with exhaust removed also... Removed rubber grommets to spray chain lube inside channels where accessible . no wash /wax or oil application can get near this detailed strip down and manual removal and rectification of laminations that stops the rot rather than seals it in to last a bit longer. Granted this is a good spare vehicle i have that i can spend time doing it right a bit at a time. Its a mk3 2011 crv 2.2 i dtec manual ex trim Peace
