What did you do inside the boot and arches and underneath the car with regards paint/rust protection?

Looks excellent by the way.

Well the whole shell was sprayed with an Epoxy primer and the underside was completely covered in rubberized undercoating... (while on the rotisserie) as for the inside of the floors and boot it was a roll on truck box bed-liner kit .... this stuff is super durable and looks good to boot!..... the next project is getting this on the underside as well :smartass:

That look amazing, the engine looks mint! and the paintwork! *drool drool*.

Did you say that the paint inside and boot was brush on?

[Al*]

yeah a roll on truck bed liner for the inside of th efloor boards.... it drys to be a rough finish extremely durable plastic like coating that also seals out moisture.
