Default Magenta cossie resto, parts back on, deja vu!!

Well ive had my cossie now for just over a year and its been a really good car, ive treated it to a GT30 turbo, refurbed the wheels and a few other bits and pieces along the way but its now time to make the underside look as good as the top.

My plans are to remove the rear beam, tank, gearbox etc and restore the underside up to the bulk head, once that is done i will then lower the car back down and make a start on removing the engine and pretty much everything else under there, i can then respary the bay and tidy up the engine components and have a few things powder coated etc all in black to give it that stealth look.

A few pics of how she looks with a bit of spit and polish,

Here's a little vid of the car at motorworx rolling road day, this was on its old T35 turbo made 349bhp with 370ftlb of torque until the clutch slipped



On to what ive been doing today, got the car jacked up in the air and set about removing the rear beam etc, it all came out really easy to be honest and only found one horror which is as you would expect some rust,

So i will get onto removing some of the sealer and weld up that section of rust, i will then cover the underside in that 3m sealer in the places it needs it and then paint the underside in magenta with a few coats of laquer,

few randoms now of the underside and bits removed ready for stripping then off to the powder coaters, let me know what you think,
