undercar cleanup

Just started to try and clean up the underside of the car not a resto or anything but wanted to just kill the
surface rust and make sure it doesnt come back gas tank was up first. We power washed cleaned and ground away
as much dirt and grime and rust as possible mostly surface rust thank god went a bit crazy so what do you guys think

I think we need a larger photo to be able to assess this properly.

Did you just do the bottom of the tank? Remove the driveshaft and rear brakes, and drop the entire rear subframe and tank. It's only a few bolts, and that's where you'll find the worst rust. Especially on the top of the tank. Plus it's easier to work on outside of the car.

What are you using to coat things with? I probably wouldn't bother with anything other than por15 for fear of trapping in dirt, moisture, etc and actually promoting more rust.

Didnt want to go too crazy as i said before so I power washed cleaned and then wire wheel everything then applied
paint/rust inhibitor recommended by my buddy its used mostly on trucks under carriages. I didnt drop all the other
stuff because it looks like the po had some undercoating on the car already there were some areas that now matter
how many time we hit it we couldnt get to the bare metal. Maybe next spring I will do it up correctly and drop everything
in the rear. Couldnt do that right now as the galant is my dd until I get my accord back from the body shop. Cant post a
bigger pic file size is over the 2mb limit.....

User powertoys image resizer and resize it to 1280x1024 or whatever is in aspect ratio for the photo. It will GREATLY diminish the size of the file, regardless of physical size.

 

ok I post up some more pics in the next few days
