havent done a update in a while so...
got really busy today, been meaning to underseal my car for a while now so today i decided to do it..powerwashed all muck off from under the arches and underneath the car
then just waxoiled/undersealed everything then
done the front then 
really happy with how it turned out, manage to keep it off the paint and not make a mess, so i decided to clay my car then just to finish it off as the car has never been clayed before
just a pic after claying and waxing the paint of the car, started going quite dark so not much of a pic, nevermind
going to paint my drums and caliper tomorrow now car is coming along nicley now, just need to put my wheels on end of the month 
comments welcome

the drums and calipers are silver now, not the best of colours but it's the only paint i had and it looks better than a rusty colour. going to paint my rear beam soon aswel (black) just got to put tyres on my new wheels then and get new brake pads not to fussesd on the cav slabs :/

LITTLE UPDATE
painted the outside of my gearbox silver, it was black but since undersealing everything and painting the gearbox black in the first place, it looked a bit plain so i think it brakes it up a little
put my G.M mudflaps on today, they look quite good, so i took a couple of pics

Never used to take much for mine to slide in the wet. They're not all the brilliant in the dry either but they are ok.

You'll like them but might not like how long they last if you like to drive hard.
