The resprayed chassis is holding up surprisingly well - only a little surface rust showing on the pressed joint, but this should come out given a good enough clean.

I use it for commuting to school - covered over 400 miles since September.

Oh OK. Woo 400 miles :o :o :o :o
I could not use mine for school because it would be stolen in no time flat :P :P :( :(

There is little chance of it getting stolen at my school - I have permission to park in the staff car park.

Do they have armed guards there? :) :) :)

I was thinking about some form of inner arch - would make it much easier to clean.
It's parked next to the caretakers' hut and they keep an eye on it. :D

That wheel arch idea, that could be Chas' next little project ;D ;D ;D

I see what you mean Kamilb, I was out on my C5 with my dad and we went down a long Carriageway on the footpath then we came across this flood where cars have been through and had flooded the footpath, the deepest it got was less than an inch, the puddle was about 6 meters long I went through it at about 5 mph or less, when I got home I had a look underneath and it was filthy
