I will do Eagle , It all seems pretty decent stuff , I think it may take a couple of goes to fully remove the rust , I'll have to see ? I also sprayed some Dynax S50 into the sills today through the skirt locating holes so that should offer some additional protection too .
Thanks , Mark

I'm trying to keep the dreaded tin worm at bay Dugy , it's very solid underneath and there's no welding at all required . It's just some of the factory applied underbody protection is delaminating slightly so that is the next job . I know the jacking points are quite a bad area on the Zx but fortunatly mine is in very good condition and only required minor work . ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/b33de17a3453f4ad871d101aad4ccfdb.jpg) ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/dfa2b57e81b6cb0bc7dbb2cf2d45bd6e.jpg) The inside of the side skirt full of 17 yrs of muck ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/f6b04ef9ed0c9be429bc4b4293825e0d.jpg) Now all nice and clean ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/dfd8674aea2bb351a43c5092c4651840.jpg) Front wing arch lip ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/612c7ee100a9200a6cf23df04e3a836a.jpg) Spare wheel before ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/54596caa69d79849d982280ce7ecbe57_zps38cc5e14.jpg) And after a tidy up and repaint in satin black ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/922a2eb84a25ae8c90d5571c752ab56a.jpg) The next jobs will be to remove the spare wheel carrier and de rust it and repaint it , then remedy the delaminating factory sealant issues when weather permits .

clear looks better than the orange i have the same.zx16 look great standard i will return to standardish soon mark2 wheels in my mind are rubbish looking look like crapy starfish mark 1 slighly better.they sit slighly to high at the back compared with the lowered form so i think it best to keep the same for looks.
i allways have my ax for my crazy modifed side/show car

Hi Mark, This is great work, keep the car original. Its a coming classic you know. In a few year theese cars will be very rear and fun to own. They are in my mind fun already of course.

We've had a drop of snow here in Sheffield and the Zx is now buried with a flat battery ( will be sorted on my day off ) . ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/f1fa8a6dcc16da81511683d80fdad818.jpg) Mark

Well the replacement battery is on and the car fired up first time , I thought I had better wash some of the winter muck off and apply some wax I've been wanting to try for a while . ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/51ad536e758284b62af83b5ed78fda11.jpg) ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/bdf5423e9bcc00278b4ed7a240c74d4d.jpg) ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/384a548252f3c37f7bf9383fbed6309d.jpg) And after a coat of dodo juice orange crush which left a lovely oily shimmer to the paint . ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/f35e06eec65fbb17eb322b68736b67cb.jpg) ![Image](http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab268/bxzx16v/cyc/127732a5170249b6bcfcbf3dcb628276.jpg) I love the dodo juice waxes I have tried and will be sampling some more of their product range soon so I'll report the results .
