Thats a stunning looking car bud

This is how i kinda want my project to look when im finished with it. If it looks as good as this al be well happy.

What exhaust system you got on the car? An where hav you got your speakers mounted. I didn't know what to do with them after losing the door panels but didn't want to get rid of the head unit. Cant do without music.

Cheers mate

Well today was a day of striping the underside of it's guts!

Is all off now just ran out of underseal Went abit mad with it at just one end of the car haha.

Well first coat







More of that tomorrow!

Then I cleaned and sprayed the fuel tank and tie straps

Before:



After:





Then cleaned the heat shields ( came up really well! )



Shot of 2 finished coats



Wheels tucked away so they don't get smashed up!



Then cleaned all the brake lines, fuel lines, fuel filler neck, nuts, pipe holders and other niggly bits and bobs!

Then tomorrow is another back breaking day!
So more tomorrow

Nice Job Kizza looks spot on.

Maybe you should consider finding a Rear ARB, polybush it etc before you re fit the rear beam

Would love to be able to something like this but my car is also a daily driver...
