I think I will still remove the seat and carpet tomorrow and see what im left with and apply some Hammerite smooth at least this way I can get the electric heater in the car to dry it out a bit before I start. Its the same old story this time of year the weather is crap and its to cold and damp and it gets dark to early to really do any real worth while jobs. And these sort of rust treatment things take a bit of time. Lets hope no welding needs doing.
I plough on regardless with this plan. Waxoyl (or Dinitrol if you prefer it) in chassis, box sections, sills(very important IMHO) and door cavities. Underseal with added Waxoyl on under car surfaces like outside of the chassis rails, the floors and sill exteriors. Then Hammerite for internal surfaces like the floor at the back and inside the engine bay.
I realise it is hard to stop the rust bug 100% but we have to try. To my mind mechanicals can be sorted but rot spells the end eventually.
I will kill mine way before the rust kills it I fix if needed for the mot paint stuff if it needs it ive just found some rust near the rear body mounts and jack tray so mite treat that buy traybacking much more affective than hamerite lol

That's the stuff I have been advocating, underseal with added Waxoyl......you can get brush on too.....it is great stuff.
