Ruf was nice enough to allow me access to my car's underside while it is waiting on calipers to come back from powdercoating...

It doesn't look perfect, but it's better than it was (which was actually pretty clean). The Cosmoline remains a bit here and there, and that will take time to get off.

I have a new-found respect for Rennlisters like R. Laurie w/ the perfect "undersides". It's hard work. And I know it will be dirty again after a couple weeks of driving. But there is a certain satisfaction for seeing the undercarriage gleam like this (for me anyway). I have just cleaned and waxed the wheels also... (3M adhesive remover, then a coat of wax).

Here are a few pics of final product...a couple of a rear, and one of front. Also, I thought you might enjoy a pic of the loaner car Ruf provided while mine is being serviced... (yeah right! )

Hey Jonathan,

Wow... looks good really good! I just have to tell you that you have to do all of this now because in a few months... you won't have a lot of free time. BTW, are those your new rotors?

Again, great job!

Nice work Jonathan. And thanks for the picture of the RUF. Is that Mexico Blue?

Tony, yes i know time will be limited soon...although i already have a spot set up for the baby in the garage...i just cant use anything caustic while he is in there with me

Chuck, yep its the first Mexico Blue RGT imported into the U.S.... my understanding is that it was purchased today by one of the Ruf U.S. business partners (Anesthesiologist)... all I can say is wow...

mrsullivan

by the way, those are the old rotors....still waiting on the new ones from pelicanparts...should come in next couple of days though (first order of business when I get car back is to measure height for you)...

So Jackie finally got the RGT. Very cool. Must get by for a test drive....

When is your car going to be ready? i need to go by and pay Hans for the oil/brake work they did during dent day saturday.

mrsullivan

car is likely to be ready on Thursday after they finish with pads, rotors, calipers, etc..

by the way, do you want my old rotors (?) they still have some life left in them, but i decided to switch them now with everything off the car... i know u can afford to get your own rotors, but i thought since you track your car a lot you might want these to use up at some point (?) just let me know...

Dear Mr. Sullivan, everybody is entitled to an opinion right? Well here’s mine, the job you did on your underside is unbelievable. That being said I think you need to see a good shrink and go for some counseling, I’m sorry to say, I think your taking this Porsche stuff a little to seriously. Three hours cleaning the UNDERSIDE, give me a break. Don’t know you, at all but come on man get a life.

In my opinion, if he wants to take the time to make his dream car nice, more power to him.

C4S_fan

That looks fantastic. This would be one of the reasons I'd get one of the lifts

chris walrod

Wow, great effort indeed! A nice improvement.. I think we all are a little sick in the head at times

Underside looks great! What products did you use to do the cleaning?
