This thread is great! I am new here and my car needs all the treatment you've given to this one. Helps me not to feel so overwhelmed. I have a few questions. In an earlier post you talked about "tar" when you were stripping the interior of the car. What was that? You also covered the bottom of the car with something called SKS, and some undercoat, or are they the same thing? I am not familiar with these products. Your build looks so good, I want to use it as my guideline for doing mine!

Also, there was some "secret formula" for painting the suspension............

Thanks so much for taking the time to document your build for us!

Hi and Welcome to the club!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

#1 If you'll notice on the floor pan of your car, there is a 1/2 inch thick (or so) pad that is mostly made of tar. It was originally installed as a sound deadening layer, but it's main job now seems to hide rust underneath. It's best, if you're planning a full resto, to assure that all your hard work isn't for naught! pull up that tar pad to make sure that you don't have any rust pockets.

#2 SKS is a spray-on undercoating made by Worth. It's great for protection of the undercarriage, sound deadening, and not having to paint the wheel wells, etc! (easier to keep looking nice than paint!)

#3 (shhhhhh) the secret formula for painting the suspension, etc is (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) Rustoleum Satin Black spraypaint! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) Muuuuuch less expensive than powder coating, easy to touch up, etc...



Again, welcome to the club! You'll find that this forum is a wonderful source of info and hilarity!!!

I'm proud of the effort we put in to repairing the former crash damage properly.

Worked on the dash tonight. Liz is getting an RS-ish simplified dash, but with a normal dash pad:

Nice work Joe. If you weren't so damn far away I'd send my car to you.

When you get your shop open I think you're gonna be a very busy man...

Great detailed schedule Liz (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I suggest you get all the miscl, hardware, fluids, gaskets, etc. including some you "may" need. It's the little missing crap that holds up the schedule and eats alot of time...
