No its a fairly low pressure one and if you look in the pics you can see I have only concentrated on the rusty areas , TBH a car of this low millage is quite bad compaired with my 1989 BMW The underside of the Z is treated from factory very poorly IMO SO never mind all you lot detailing Topside What about Underside !!!!

worth a shot :P

 

from what ive heard the zed is pretty cack on its protection underneath. not designed for our roads, salt etc. hence the exhaust on every car dying a death in the same place

This is a little bit worrying

[stesrg]

Having some problems like the waxoil pump was naff so used a shultz gun anyway got 5 liters of waxoil on the underside and concidering I dont use it in the winter think this will well preserve it

more shots

Let me know if you want any more information

It always astounds me how rusty the UK cars underneath. Your winters and gritting and salt.

Good work, the waxoil pumps are naff, I had to use a heat gun to keep it hot when I did mine, how comes you used the clear waxoil and not the black stuff?

So I can keep an eye on the rust !! In all fairness if it was all slappdashed in black when I sold it on a buyer would think what is he trying to hide

Ste, where did you get this done? I'd be very interested in getting it done! My underside is rather minging!

At my workshop I made a ramp and used the forklift to opperate it up and down with safety precautions in place so if hydraulics went car still would be in the up position had 3 tonnes on it so I now its safe !!!

but bravo

for longevity any rust should be completely removed or treated, otherwise the rust will continue but the other way

 

plus you wont be able to see it rusting (only speak from experiance )
