Re: Underside rust protection
Some kind of underseal? Many different types have been available over the years. Some better than others! Some owners like it, others do not and choose to remove it. Best to keep an eye on it and ensure it doesn't dry out, crack and flake off. Covering it with a waxy or oily rust preventative is probably best.

Re: Underside rust protection
Thanks for the information. So I would have to spray some undersea on, on a regular basis then, Some bits of the body work have some rust in places you can't see normally. But it is not bad.

Re: Underside rust protection
Looks like standard body schutz aka underseal. It needs re-treating from time to time. It can get thin or split and allow water to get underneath it. Definitely worth treating any rusty areas and then recoating with underseal.
