Began the underseal removal off my 1999 300 Tdi

It’s a job I’ve been putting off for four years—stripping the underseal off my chassis. Now that I have access to an outdoor ramp, it’s made the job much easier since I can stand underneath it.





I’ve decided not to strip the entire chassis, as the front is still in great condition with no signs of peeling. I imagine the combination of oil leaks and heat from the engine and gearbox helps keep moisture at bay in that area. However, the rear arches and around the crossmember were a different story—the underseal was failing badly, especially around the crossmember that supports the A-frame ball joint.





This was last night after stripping one of the chassis legs.

I am very surprised how well its preserved my 27 year old Chassis as my landy is weird it was built on April 1998 but didnt get sold until April 1999

Looking pretty good in that pic, must have been a good underseal [plenty of rubbish ones about]
Truck may have been a sales demonstrator or something like that to account for date.
