Administrators hughezee Posted June 4, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Jet washed out the arches vigorously and plenty of degreaser too, zero rust in any of the normally prone areas, but I intend to keep it that way.👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted June 10, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Few more parts arrived for the odyssey including new Japanese made bump stops (no longer available from Honda) shocks all assembled and the old bump stops were almost an inch shorter with wear and then the heavens opened up. 😞 Those with a keen eye might spot my newly installed rear camera, with all the cabling neatly hidden away in the tailgate following the existing wiring loom. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise on the Volvo although there is some trim at the back of the headlining that i could use to mount the rear cam on. More thought required for me i reckon! What are all the toys in those boxes then? Or is it a secret until you fit/install/otherwise get them out to play with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No secret buddy there's a BOSE sub from an accord is in the nearest box (pictured further up) and some new rear wheel bearings in the box further back... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, buddy, I replaced all mechanical bits in pairs including rear calipers (will be doing front ones soon) and filled all inner rear arches with wax and it started dripping out of a few odd places, obviously where the seam sealer had failed with age, so all good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 16, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Does the wax have a rust killer built in as well Stu or is it purely protective? Always best doing pairs of things, bet things have sharpened up all round now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wax injected fluid for protecting underbody, chassis box sections, door panels, sills, etc. Fluid nature allows rust to be eliminated or prevented in hard to reach spaces. As quoted from the manufacture buddy, used it for a few years now and never had to re-apply it although I still do, keeps the rust under control... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
