Had a look under the car today and was saddened by the amount of rust on the chassis. What can I do to sort it out? There are no holes or badly corroded areas although the coating from the outriggers is shot away in some areas. The A frame is corroded, again with no holes.

I'm thinking about stripping the affected areas back then using jenolite followed by hammerorite or waxoyl.
Any ideas. The car's 12 years old and was recently bought from a reputable dealer.

I got a couple of articles on chassis repairs and some pics of owners cars that have been done.

Give it a whirl.

I'm afraid the plastic coating TVR use isn't much cop, the good news is if its just surface rust just clean it up and black hammerite over the top. As the chassis tubes are pretty heavy duty, the real place to check is the outriggers hidden underneath the sill covers. Drill the pop rivets off and have a look.
