Moke - with your adventures (and your profile pic) I expect your underside is well worn but functional.

That is an extremely nice underside.

 

Oh really ? ,,,,,,

 

Bitterly disappointed,,,,,,,

 

You've never said anything as remotely as nice as that in my ear,,,,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your underside is vast enough to live work and play there.

Don't make it a flat tray;  bring the sides up, like a U because I was supprised at how much dirt gets thrown through the frame, past the trumpets.

 

I also put louvers across the back of my Mk2 tray to give the stuff that gets in, a chance to get out.

Yes, thanks for that. I did wonder how much mud etc. would get thrown in from the wheel wells. It's still a work in progress so I will try to address the shortcomings as I go along. I am intending to fit some some small vents in the rear valance and paint the undertray with epoxy and possibly a coat of Raptor.

I like your "belt & braces" ideas, but you are going to need twin wheels to carry all that weight.

Yes, after starting with a rusting hulk, I did go a bit overboard with protective paint. I think the metal is now a thin filling between two layers of epoxy.

Still, when I get to the engine it will be a good excuse to give it a few more horsepower.
