Coupe off to be painted underneath

Post by my1200 »

Ok getting something done on the coupe, being painted in factory red underneath as
This coupe never had underseal from the factory and was originally painted in red?
Then off to safe r brakes to be re lined with new tubing.
Home and motor and box can go in !!!!
Not long now and before Xmas start up!

Motor complete, gearbox rebuilt, diff completed rear shocks not done fair bit more work to do
But, in the scheme of things F All.

and the four door is in getting some mean as camber and adjustables built.
And before I started this one it looked similar to the blue one and under
that ugly blue is a metallic grey blue !!!.
Better go buy some sand paper.

Due to the 1600 is on the way from Auckland and here on Tuesday next week.

Crikey Aaron are you actually going to finish that coupe at last :o

Good to see..... I look forward to seeing it on the road. still love that car.

I have undersealed my coupe all black and about 3-4mm thick ;)
including all my inner guards etc. Unsure what colour they are underneath
from factory, as was so many years ago that mine was stripped & blasted.

Tonight been super busy dismantling fuel feed hose etc taking to underneath with soapy water and a rag cleaning ever inch ready for paint. I will need to jack up front and wipe the floor pan now again with soapy water.
All rubber bungs need to be removed and taped from above to stop any over spray.
Have checked inner guards and my god it's like factory new not a sign of rust or panel damage.
Better carry on....see ya
