Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

Good work, Aw says your gay.

Err thanks lol

Nice work Iain, are you doing underneath body colour or just black!

Should be a nice example once its done fella! :thumb:

Going to be white underneath and in the arches, still working out what to use for that though!

I'd remove all loose underseal thats already on there then give it nice thick even coats of Stonechip then fire over it with some white Hammerite...

Looks really good dude, that seam across the rear floor area is a bitch, they split open (as it is in before weld pic) and then rot between, mine had slightly, but i cured it.

I'm sure you can buy White underseal, so you could strip it all, then paint in a primer/base coat, then use white underseal! :thumb:

keep up the good work mate.

Nice work.

Iain, ideally you'd etch prime all the bare meat bits before painting.

Although how do I clean this area up for welding?! I can't get my grinder in there.

Few holes found in the rear panel so I cut it all out and welded in new metal (maybe overkill but I was having fun welding lol)

Lots of penetration. I know it's a good sign but it's made the floor all bumpy feeling so I'll probs have to flick over it with the flapwheel to prep for paint?!

Think that's pretty much the underside done now
