PhilDav Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I bought the car before I got married so about 28 years ago. About 7 years ago I stupidly took the car to bits and powder coated the chassis. I should have have left it alone and enjoyed it.... it has 38k miles from new on the car. The floor pans are good... bare metal then bilthamber hydrate 80. Then coated with bilthamber epoxy mastic The only (welding) repairs needed were bottom of both rear wings. Nothing else (except surface rust from damp storage) Powder coated.. a long time ago.. I bought lots of stainless and high tensile bolts to reassemble and I'm confused about paint.. diy or body shop. Today i painted the fuel tank.. lots more fun to be had.... :-) SDS-epoxy-mastic-a.pdf Edited March 6 by PhilDav Removed duplicate pictures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Awesome stuff. I'm trying to avoid the temptation to do this to my car... but sooner or later I'm going to have to address the bodywork. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilDav Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Don't take it to bits... it is full time job and too much money to rebuild... save yourself money and buy a porsche 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tomlinson Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Can really appreciate your work on this, know it well with our GT6 resto nearly completed after 6 years - never again springs to mind (actually - being 67 I probably will not live long enough to take on another🙂...
