Cheers. Sounds like a pretty big job. I think mine just needs to be brushed away, cleaned up a bit, and sealed. They said I can just leave it, but I'm hesitant. Maybe it's coming from a country where roads are essentially salt for half of the year. Lots of videos of people doing it themselves but I can't be bothered, I think.

Just spoke to my mate about the wax job he's just done on his partners new e30 - he said it's a summer job, trying to do it in cold temps is basically a fool's errand.
Obviously it depends on what method you use, but it all sounds fairly rank if you haven't got a car lift. Don't really fancy scrubbing the underside of my car with it on axle stands and then putting the stuff on.

My rear subframe was crusty as was the floor, to the extent that I was advised to replace the subframe “soon”. Challenge there was that the subframe was NLA, so the existing one had to be stripped and refurbished.
The work cost £3,500 and took a couple of weeks. I imagine yours would be a fraction of that however, if parts are available.
