Ginty, it's not so horrible anymore... the light I see now is hopeful, whereas the light I used to see was a light... on the other side.

I have been deeded space to do mine, by a friend who is as dumb, as he is nice.

I shall overcome!

Serious, you must either look at that, and go "Oh MY GOD NO!" or look at it and say... well, you can't say that here, but let's just give it the old...

DARN TOOTIN'!

So, when do you start on mine?

I won't go through this again for a long time to come. Let alone on someone else's car.

Be sure to post pics when you get started. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

You're so right. I'm extremely happy with the progress of late. Even if the tub sits for a while waiting for an influx of cash, I'll be happy to have it sitting in my own garage looking all orange and purty.

I finally found the long or frame rail to shock tower thread of Jeroen's that I've been looking for. Looking for opinions of anyone who has BTDT. Feel free to add your $.02 to that thread.

Wurth undercoat schiznit stuff applied. I hear the underside is already Tangerine. I'll have to wait until Sunday to see it and get more pics.

Wow Mike it's almost done ;-) Seriously worst part is behind you and your car looks great.

I'm curious about the final finish for the wheel wells and underside. Did that come from the factory body color or was it painted body color and then undercoated? How are you going to do yours?

Yup, I'm getting excited... until I get the bills. LOL The tub is 4-6 weeks from completion now.

The factory used undercoat much like this Wurth product that you see applied here. Then it's painted body color over the top of that. I could be wrong (I'm sure someone will correct me if necessary), but I don't believe the factory ever applied black undercoat on top of the paint in the the wheel well or pan areas. All of the cars you see like that have been "improved" by some owner somewhere.

The undercoating process was a Dealer option.
