I have been spending all my time in the evening between the time I get home from work and before everyone starts yelling at me for being too loud stripping the engine bay and underside of the car of all the nasty, dirty, gross undercoating. This is the progress that I have made...it is beginning to look really nice. The engine bay is pretty much completed and I am beginning to tackle the underside around where the tranny mounts. I am thinking about painting the engine bay red to match car and the underside and fenders with glossy black (Por-15 or something). Then I will powdercoat all the suspension in red...should look nice.

That is the funniest 914 that I have ever seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Good job on stripping, I know how much work it takes and that undercoating is a bear. How do you plan on getting the final little corners cleaned? a dremel? Does anyone know if Por15 will attach itself to the factory undercoating? |
