After a little advice from my betters, please.
Having finally rebuilt the '87 90 and now using it as my daily drive, I need to do the chassis. Where it was left standing for three years it's developed light surface rust but luckily it was left on gravel, not grass, which probably saved it.
So, it'll run all winter and I don't have a garage, thus thinking about the chassis. I'm near Frog Island, who told me today they'll do it with something called Dynatrol. They say this is what the military use and it forms a much tougher seal than Waxoiling the thing. Also said the stories about sealing in moisture were fiction - they'd steam clean and tape it on day one, seal it on day two, let it dry on day three and I could take it away that night. Said it'll harden further over the following days but it's fine to use.
Anyway, they charge £450 for this all in, which seems reasonable.
Any advice about any of this guys? Particularly keen to get to the truth of this thing I've been told about sealing in moisture and thus accelerating corrosion. Been told (admittedly in the pub) that you need to leave a vehicle for at least a week somewhere warm and dry before doing it.
