After viewing the underside of the chasis, it appears there's a lot of wiring exposed to the elements, ie: salt,snow etc.
I might consider undercoating to protect the works under there.

It's your decision but I would consider Fluid Film rather than traditional rubberized undercoating.

+1 for something like fluid film.

it’s dirtier and needs to be touched up and reapplied every so often, but MUCH more effective. Other more solid/permanent types of undercoating tends to do more harm than good in the long run unless it’s VERY meticulously applied. Moisture/salt will find its way in to any little void between the metal and coating (often microscopic/not visibly obvious) and start eating away. The undercoating will hide it pretty well as it happens and continue to look nice, but that don’t mean it’s not happening! You don’t have that problem with fluid based stuff.
