This is now where it gets interesting

After watching a lot of you tube vids I decided to paint the underside in base and clear (I didn’t appreciate how much work was involved with this)

So first coat of high build went on, whilst the photo makes this look good, unfortunately the light paint showed how beaten the underside was

Undeterred, I progressed with the original idea and busted out the fibre glass and filler

It felt like this stage would never end, anyhow 5 litres of high build later and I have smoothed out all the stone guard…….ready for base coat

I’m currently stripping down all the rear end so I can send off for powder coating hopefully I can get this organized soon so I can start to bolt bits back together

This is not concours (I don’t have deep enough pockets) but I would like to think once all finished it should be pretty decent example of a 90spec turbo
