I have been advised by Monkfish to get the Monaro under-sealed. Can anyone recommend a Company that does good work?

They did mine and a few others. Proper job too, removing the rear sub frame and everything (mine was minitubbed at the same time). Roger obviously decided it's too messy a job to continue offering iit.

Mf also informed me while I was there that they will not rust proof anymore cars.

It's nice and warm now, so a good time to rust proof the motor. I live in Bucks (Amersham/Chesham) - can anyone recommend a company that's relatively local? Bucks/Herts? Thanks in advance.

Not local but try www.rust.co.uk - supply really good stuff but also do full rustproofing service

If you want to do the job yourself try using Dynax rustproofing. This product has a good reputation by most people and is highly recommended.
I'm going to start on my Monaro next month as the Waxoyl I used previously is now past it's best.
Be warned, you do need a sense of humour to do this, as it is a time consuming dirty job! but well worth it if you are going to to keep the car.
In fact it's well worth it if you sell your car. Let's face who will want to buy a rusted out Monaro in a few years time.

DIY. Its really a job that needs doing regularly. Not once on a 10 year old vehicle. As a prevention rather than a cure, the best time to do it is when you get it home from the showroom. I've done mine every year since it was new, and its still like new underneath. As others say, its a bit time consuming and messy. But you can get it down to a days job when you have been doing it a few years! Then a very hot shower to get rid of the smell of it.

Other advantages of DIY are that it gives you a very good chance to inspect every inch of the undersides, and all the nooks and crannies.

Is it just the monaro that needs doing, or is this an R8 requirement too?
