   If you're worried about rust underneath your car then get some hammerite underseal for about £20, get the car up on axel stands and get underneath and paint it on. Messy and annoying but well worth it

    You want to cure the rust first really. If its just surface rust then get under it and brush some hammerite kurust (rust treater) wait a hour then brush some Rust seal this stuff is hardcore. Stay clear of hammerite paint or underseal its shit and wears off over winter, the rust treater from hammerite is ok though.

    I've got some surface rust underneath, going to grind it all off then use the underbody seal stuff hammerite do then jobs a goodun
    
    Just where the spare wheel sits and on some components nothing really to worry about unless the whole floor is made of rust lol
