So how is your landy doing?
Apart from tyres whats on the cards for it next?

See for £100 you could get yourself an Aldi compressor, or even get one from machine mart for a little more (then its yours for the next job) machine mart also do the guns for £10 and the waxoyle for £5.
The gun comes with a length of tube.
Jetwash the chassis (if you don't have one the garage ones are powerful go there and use that - you might get some funny looks crawling about under your landy) then get under and wirebrush any flakey rusty bits. Grind/sand any bad rust bits right down. Get into all the dodgey areas and scrape out any muck.
Let it dry for a day (if your getting good weather at the moment all the better), then get in there and blast waxoyle all over it, i rekcon for less than £200 you could buy a compressor, about £25 worth of waxoyle and a £10 gun.
So its going to cost you £100 more this time, but next job you will have more tools.
Also I am not so sure these places that do waxoyle are really going to care about your landy rusting, your going to spend a lot more time on it, and your going to bother with all the little bits. If someone gave me £100 to do to there chassis what I did to mine I would laugh.
Right I am off to see CharlesY.
id look like an idiot though =)
When you say 5 - 10 mph is that the speedo reading 5 - 10 mph slower than your actual road speed or faster?
it's already got wheel spacers =) My wheels stick out of the side of the body and the spats just about cover them. The tyres are 235x70 which are about as big as I can go with my N/A without killing it. Could I put bigger tyres on an N/A (taller tyres) or would it kill it?
Cheers
The speedo will read slower than actual road speed.
Or more likely read actual road speed seein as most car speedos read 5 mph faster than actual.
On the up side tho you's puttin less miles on the clock
Sorry for the delay some of us got to work anorl.
