While were on the subject can you buy or has anyone made a spray pipe to get right up the inside of the chassis box sections.I have got a compressor and a underseal gun.Any ideas?

I picked up an underbody air gun at my local auto part place that had a flexible hose attachment about 50cm long. The end of this had a 4 way sprayer nozzle which was perfect for getting inside the box sections. The gun was about £12. I saw similar ones on ebay. It's a pretty standard item so you should have no bother getting one.

What a job though! I wire brushed the loose rust off my TD5, then sprayed waste engine oil mixed with white spirit underneath, including inside the chassis. I waited a few days then did the underside again with black waxoyl mixed 50% with white spirit.

This mixed sprayed on great, but bloody hell, what a nightmare job. The fumes under the car from the waxoyl would have knocked out an elephant. I had to get this respirator effort out of B&Q for about £30. It was worth every penny, although it was quite a large % of the overall cost of the job. You'll also need goggles and overalls and a hat.

I did the whole job for about £100 and it looks great. I missed a few small places but will get these next year. I messed around with a single pair of ramps but with hindsight if I had another pair and put the whole car up at one time on 4 ramps it would have been much easier. Having get in and move the car while covered in waxoyl is not recommended. My wife convinced me that 4 ramps wasn't safe but I think it would be ok if your drive is sound.

Make sure you put something below the car to catch the mess. I have a gravel drive and totally plastered it in waxoyl.

This looks like the gun I got...
CUB1 Underbody Seal Gun - Machine Mart

I bought a shutz style waxoly canister and used this to screw onto this gun. I made up a large drum of waxoly & white spirit mix and used this to keep replenishing the Shutz canister.

Just found the px24 water repelant stuff he uses. Ambersil sell it online at about £4.50 for a 400ml areosol can. Hmmmmmm. Might be worth a go cos ive got a compressor and long air line.
px24 is the miltary number for wd40 i used it in the 70s on phantoms
