My 3dr Cosworth
Time for an overhaul. 3dr Cosworth with 40k miles from new. Currently restoring the underside. Awaiting delivery of Konis, Mongoose exhaust, Powerflex bushes, Group N Beam mounts, Prodrive Hoses. All arms, rear beams etc currently getting powder coated. Watch this space 
Before
The following pictures are all of the original underside. Cleaned with G101, still mint after all these years, with not a hint of rust or rot to the floorpan
Tank Stripped
Tank Rubbed Down
Underside G101'd
Original Brake Lines
Spring Seats Cleaned
More to come next week.

Mmmm. Nice and clean. I cant get over the rust that you guys see over there. Driveline parts, beam etc. I know where I will be looking to advertise my 3dr if I sell.
Keep up the good work Jeff

Assembly
Everythings back from the powder coaters. Heres a nice little collection to go back on the car.
Rear beam and diff installed
All the other rear end parts going back, all bolts renewed and really happy with the results. Just needs brake calipers etc to go back on.
