I had thought about giving mine a coat of something, but after cleaning it up I've decided not to as it's possibly one of the cleanest most original 850s left in the UK. The car isn't used during the winter months so I don't have to worry about salt killing it off and it's seldom out unless the sun is shining

Just an update mine is now in having the undersealing done.. as soon as its finished ill update pictures on here so everyone can have a look at the job.

Mine was already done some 10 years ago , so it already has the majority of the original sealant and no rust :-). Its just been damaged in places

He seems really good .. seen a jeep in there he is doing and it looks like he does an amazing job !

The price was not to bad either probably best ring and speak to him for quotes.

He also says he Warranties the work and likes to check it once a year to make sure its not been damaged !

Next time I speak to him Ill ask if I can leave his number on here.
