Default Cosworth underside resto who`s done it or how hard??

Anyone took the job on look`s like it`s a very big job to do anyone done it.

What have you done painted or sparyed removed all the drivetrain etc or can you do it with out revmoveing

hopeing to just paint the underside fit new fuel tank pump brackes hoses brake pipes clips etc..

Don`t want to be concours just nice and tidy. also prob a good time to change brake/fuel lines etc.. been on there prob 15 years for my own piece of mind

Can use a ramp when every ineed to but car really need to be kept mobie

Stunning job there mate well done

Would love to go that far with it but don`t have the time

Can get use to a ramp when every i need to but the car has to be kept mobie and me garage is to small to take a job on like that.

Cheers mate .The main floor area is easy unless your going the full Bufty route like that idiot Ian As it is mainly flat with just the exhaust and brake/fuel line in way.I did mine while my engine was away being built.So was easier.

I'm on with mine now Not Concourse, just treating any rust, and painting it black...

I've got the tank, fuel pump and rear bumper off so far - tomorrow the rear beam will come off and then the fuel lines, prop, exhaust etc. Then I'm gonna start at the back and work my way forwards

I've got a load of stuff from http://www.frost.co.uk - POR15 gear and some chassis black paint.

It looks like a bigger job than I first thought, but hopefully will be worth it in the long run

Getting the beam powder coated and replacing all the bushes at the same time too

Neil.
