Thanks, that’s a great site! Some quality of work there.
I think you’re right, there’s no rush to use it so probably getting off as many of the panels as possible and going right over it will be a good start. Just in case there is anything gently rotting away out of sight...
Will have a good rake through the site for any other potential problem areas

Hello and Welcome along.
I would remove any loose underseal and sand back any accessible rust areas. Treat with a rust converter and over paint with a direct to rust paint. Re-apply stone chip to any areas you removed, then wax inside and out, cover everything.
People will have their preferred products for this, as do I, but it's a can of worms as to which is best.
Ours is a 2009 low milage example and pretty good underneath before I did the above , it's worth removing the front bumper and inner arch skirts to the a look at the front body mounts, one side on ours required a welded repair at 10 years old. Now done and dripping in wax.
Have fun.
Mike
Ps I also like buzzweld paint.

Welcome to the forum. I use Dreadnaught in much the same manner as a sensible alternative to a side by side on our upper lowland sheep farm, you will not be disappointed!

If you do go for bumper / arch liner removal it's worth getting some clips ready for the odd one that breaks. Cheap as chips so why re-use old faulty ones?

Sorry about the long link, never figured out how to do the short one.
Also used on Fiats if you want UK supply, search for Fiat bumper clip.
