not had much time on the porsche but finally got some time today.
Got a trolley welded up for it to sit on and pushed it outside to degrease and presuure wash the underside.
Took a while but is almost spotless underneath now.
going in tomorrow to roll the rear arches,address any corrosion underneath then prep the underside, engine bay and front tub.
I'll then reseal/stonechip the underside ready to paint it on monday morning.
finally i can get some colour on it
still got a couple of bits to remove too
oh and a big thanks to alex for dropping in some engine tinshe isnt using, very generous and much appreciated

What a long day, one of those jobs that takes twice as long.
Lots of cleaning still had to be done, aswell as a bit of welding because of rust and broken studs.
all sealed up now with 3M sprayable sealer 08800
i taped up the tops as it always squeezes out the top, and you'll need this gun to spray it
all done and ready for paint early tomorrow morning

Great work - Must be good to see the project going forwards not backwards now, I'm really looking forward to seeing this one going back together.
Few more long days/late nights yet I reckon!!

Just noticed my engine carrier is bent/twisted at both ends, right side towards the back of the car and left side towards the front, is this common?
