Scotty, I don't mind doing new ones because washing/drying and rust converting treatments are not needed (although it is possible and necessary to do a few little touch up on rusty bits even when new as it would dry in time!). If you can get it down to me on a dry day I can do it for you and can also go through the other areas and treatments that would be advisable to do. Again whilst you are here I can do most of those but for the window sealing - it would better to ask your local window fitter to seal your windows thumbsup:
Will send you a pm later |

I would love to it, new ones are not a problem as you can do them on the spot but older ones would need cleaning, drying, degreasing and rust treating first. The problem is that a chassis can take a week to dry out inside even on hot summer days. They guys like Gigglepin send them away for 4/5 days to be hot steam cleaned, dried out with blowers over a couple of days then treated with Dinitrol. They charge about £800... New ones I can do no problem Any rusty bits even on new ones can be treated ready for over-spray or painting in half an hour and away you go as long as the chassis is dry inside!
Yes to properly go through a new one would be a pleasure, inside nuts/bolts, seat frames, catches etc etc. I can even detail the engine bay area whilst it's in to make it clean and shiny, doesn't take a minute - you can guess I used to enter classic cars in for Concourse De Elegance events - love it  Once it is done, it's very easy to just wipe over with a rag to keep it clean and in top nick because it has all the wax etc under any dirt. Mine still looks mint after 1300 miles and all I do is give it a wipe down every now and then. For instance I havn't had to wash the wheels once. The brake dust just wipes off due to the layer of wax underneath and I just spray on a bit more wax everynow and then to top it up |

 Get yourself out there fella!! I'm chuffed I've managed to put 600 on mine in the 2 weeks (nearly) that I've had it. Really feels mine now - picked it up with 99 miles on the clock, now almost 700
Would be interested to see how much you'd charge to sort the underside of my DC, Zag.....we're saving hard to move house now, so been told I need to watch the pennies, but it would be worth doing sooner rather than later, I reckon! Mark 2011 110 XS DC Stornoway Grey |

PM sent
I use mine probably every other day as I still use my 109 Series but it's all local stuff - school runs and town are less than a mile away... Not good for the engine so it gets a longer run every now and then |
