Done. That's the underside, now covered with some "Bitumen" underbody spray that will also protect against small impacts.

This was a leftover can which went on fine and a new can which went on a bit blotchy. Guess you really need to shake it for five minutes. Oh well, blotchy protects all the better! :)

The inside got just normal matt black paint. That looked very nice but somehow the phone forgot to take a picture when I pressed the button 🤷

The same under-engine plate as before, now without rust and freshly sprayed in an underbody protection spray that leaves a coarse, slightly soft finish.

Trying out that Latvian "Rust-Off" rust converter. Works well, but not as nice as the Flag Paints stuff as it has no black pigment. No black coverage, just conversion. At least it goes on pale green so you can see where you have applied it.

De-rusted the Crossgolf's massive steel under-engine shield, then applied converter and next is paint.

New shield is somewhere around €160-200, so worth restoring. Used ones are just as rusty.

Rusty under-engine shield from a VW Golf 5 Plus Cross. It's a thick steel piece with some black paint left on it, the rest is thick rust from use in a country with heavily salted roads. There's two elaborate air intake slots with triangular recesses. An old hammer is on top of it.
Same shield, although upside down (both sides were about the same level of rustyness). The rust is now hammered, chiseled, ground and brushed off and rust converter has been applied turning any remaining brown spots black. Where there was no rust, the rust converter remains transparent, showing darkened steel. The intake slots have been cleaned up as well as possible, but are a problem spot.
A test of the rust converter paint on an old steel chisel. The bottom half is rusty, the top half is black.

When mercenaries from the Wagner PMC, also known as the Wagner Group, first appeared in the Central African Republic (CAR) in 2018, many local women stopped going out to work in the fields. The reason? They were afraid of being raped by Russian soldiers.

New #Blog post: Doggy Boot Build

We've got a new #car, with ample room in the boot for the #dogs

But, being an MPV, it has fold down seats meaning that there were dog unfriendly gaps in the floor.

We don't need those seats, so I decided to do a small build to convert the boot into a dog transportation area
