Hi all I have found a house to buy and unfortunately my black mk2 Rs2000 has got to go. I bought it around a year ago from escort tec as a complete car and proceeded to strip it to restore. The shell was very good and had strut top plates welded on by mark at escort tec and a handful of small holes plated on the floor around the seat mountings. I have had the wing rails tidied up and a handfull of small plates but nothing major. It has then been on a spit and the whole underside was sanded down,2 coats of the excellent epoxy mastic has been applied,and then a thin coat of waxoyl underbody seal to finish resulting in a superb looking underside which will never rust again.The body has had any rust treated,painted with epoxy mastic to seal it and there is no rot anywhere,its a very solid shell. I had the axle,crossmember and suspension components sand blasted,zinc primed and then painted and i am in the process of having them fitted at the moment, the shell should be rolling tomorrow.The underside looks very good with this work completed and has full new polybushes. I will be selling the car in its current rolling state with alll the hard work done and just needs final prepping for a respray.The windows,doors bonnet,boot and interior are out and it comes with a good black interior,sunroof,5 speed box and 4 standard rs alloys. It has new chassis plates all stamped correctly and comes with a new decal set. Parts needed to complete will be Windscreen,exhaust and a few very minor items. I have no idea if the credit crunch has affected old school prices but any pointers as to what this car would be worth??? I will get photos tomorrow regards mark

Blimey,i would say that it looks good for under a car but not sure on a bike frame! Or is that the specific look you are after? regards mark

The tetroseal i have seen is brush on and in a 5 litre can.if its good,i was going to do the whole underside of my black rs2000. mark

Yes please if you have a photo handy mark

On the underside of their car??? my black Rs2000 needs a bit of rubbing down and resealing in places,i just wondered if this is any good for protecting the underside??? regards mark
