Graldine our 1973 vw camper geting underseald and lowwed.................

Hello to you all sorry its been so long getting some pictures together.......this is a mixture of shots showing the lowering and the anchor waxing of the underside of our van.....
This shows many hours of cleaning of the old under seal and 40 years of dirt ready for putting on the black ancor wax....I used this product as it stays flexible and makes a permanent bond with the metal work..unlike under seal it drys and in time cracks and lets in water....this product seals and keeps out the water.....
A close up showing the rear of the van just been lowered to match the front.............you can see the cleaning work again ready for the black ancorwax......along with new uprated adjustable rear shock absorbers.
Now all ready for the spraying....note the protection to the front and rear brakes....making sure not to get any wax on the brakes.
WOW all done.....took 4 hours of spraying to get into every nook and cranny........then going over it a second time to make sure i did not miss any bits..........
Action shot showing the spraying being done.........
All done with the new wheels and tyres on......B R MS is the make /style of the wheels......love them.......
Photo showing the new lowered look...........still awaiting the wheels to be fitted.
with the rear of the van all now primed and hopefully ready for paint soon...i used a zinc primer to help protect the work that has been done.................more updates to follow soon.
cheers Colin & Cherie.
