Spring Time cleaning. How clean is your undercarriage?
Saturday, February 24, 2007 11:10 PM
Granted I still have a ways to go, do to the recent not running mystery with my car, and my headlight wiring catching fire my car has found itself on jackstands. So I've decided to take my cleaning, perhaps a little to the extreme.

Anyways here's the progress thus far, granted there are still a few places I need to hit before doing the left side of my car.

Nice. Any woodland creature unlucky enough to find himself wedged under there is bound to be impressed.

Seriously though, my car is lucky to see a bi-annual undercoating. Rust is simply an inevitability, espcially when my home town gets free salt for road maintenance from the worlds largest salt mine.

I had some Street Glow Xenons that I have used for over five years. I turned them on one night and boom they caught fire.


Its actually an undercoating a used a few years ago just cleaned up and clearcoated. I didn't use any undercoating under the car, thats just the original color of the oilpan.

eh... NOT cool... i have the exact same bulbs ive used them over n over again in almost every car ive ever owned and never had any issues, aside from the fact that they are nowhere near reliable, its a safe bet to just plan on buying a new set every year since they blow out so damn often.

that sucks man, what did you do? did it ruin ur headlight housings?

The housings itself on the backside were just scorched but the headlights are still good. The ballasts though the bulbs plug into melted.

Its funny you mention them blowing, until now I've never once had a problem.

The car has been on jackstands for three weeks now. Minus the oilpan my car stays pretty clean. I've got less than three hours total invested on this little project.
