This is both awesome and terrifying, mine is far worse underneath already, to the point where im almost scared to even start based on what you are finding! |

Great work. Blasting looks great, reminds me I've got to get my engine bay done at some point. If you are going to use Electrox it is best to use it on bare metal, not undercoated with Hydrate 80. Galvanic coatings work by being in direct contact with the substrate and being a sacrificial anode. I'm not convinced by Hydrate 80 or other rust converters as long-term corrosion protection on larger areas, especially when you won't be able to get at most of the steel again once the engine is in. Others may have a different view. Electrox is excellent, in my project thread you can see a disc protector that was scuffed up, primed with Electrox and over-coated with silver. I wiped off road grime and it was still corrosion free after around 4 years on the car. The underside of my Rallye was painted with Electrox and is still perfect 5 years later. I over-coated it with stone chip and oil-based enamel which has held up well (plus Dynax UC over the top), but I would have used Epoxy Mastic if I'd known about it at the time. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Looks great. After seeing that I'm itching to get at the bump stop areas on mine!Regarding the jacking damage on the cross-members, the pinholes probably make it nugatory to try and pull it out to original profile, as the metal will be very thin if it is pinholed, thinner than it would have been originally. Also if pinholed the metal will be rusty on the inside, problematic to patch as not much to weld onto air etc. When I looked in 2012 these parts were still available called ''stiffeners'' on servicebox. We all need a stiffener now and then. But they were a couple of hundred pounds each. Maybe your parts guy can assist? What I ended up doing was getting the nasty ones cut off, new ones fabbed up, painted on the inside with Bilt Hamber Etchweld primer, welded on and then copious quantities of Dynax S50 blown in there, making sure to replicate the drain holes. Still looks perfect 5 years later, although the garage that did them had to replace them after jacking the car up on them and caving them in. Now I put a post-it note on the steering wheel saying where (not) to jack it when I drop the car off to a garage for any reason. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Mik,Yeah, the bumpstop boxes are a horror. Probably a good reason they were designed the way they are but are just water/crap traps and awful to try and get any kind of kit that would sort them out, into..... The cross members yes, are going to need something. Have you got part numbers for them? I have had a good look on service box but can't find anything specific.... ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye .... On going OEM spec restoChina Blue GTi6 ....

No part numbers with me, I'm overseas at the moment. I'll take a look when I'm back but I'm sure I found it under the bodywork tab in Servicebox. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
