......and another.

Thought I'd give the underside of the Maverick the Hammerite treatment today as offroading and pressure washing is wearing the paint and underseal a bit thin.

Anyway job done but while under the car I found the exhaust bent in two places which is not a problem as I have a new mid section and rear box in the shed.

Also found a nail in the rear tyre just at the edge of the tread in the side wall ;O(

Might try to patch or maybe a can of tyre sealant and use as a spare .

Will order a new tyre tomorrow ,more money ;O(
