Jay - that's an awful Mess!......
I'd suggest CLR... might fix it up... the oil stains might need a bit of degreaser though.

What a great finish on the car, though!... POR15?

What have I done to you lot?.... does everyone now want a mirror finish on their subfloor..?

Great work, Jay..

With a finish like this on your sub-floor, you simply must do the diff and both fuel tank end and mud-flap hangers.
The fuel tank will need quite a bit of filling to get it flat - but it looks schmick from behind.... if not filled, it will show up all voids and will pulsate a bit in running...
The upper leaf of the rear springs also make the "finish" look complete..

I'm very much impressed with your work, Jay - you've stunned me with it being enamel....
Glad to learn that you've already addressed your springs and diff etc.... work like this is becoming more common - and it certainly promotes the pride and commitment owners nurture within our era of Holdens....

If you want to go a bit "stupid" - polished stainless for some of the visible non-working rear fittings adds just a bit more to the effect.

frats,

I've just painted my EK with killrust black paint also, except with a brush :shock: , with a vastly different outcome :roll: :lol: .

A paint brush?! Did you use a massive brush like Rolf Harris? I look forward to seeing your work on Saturday. After all the practice on your house, I'm expecting a flawless finish.

God damn... Nice

I get the feeling with both of us dropping in the 253's this is definitely a case of beauty and the beast... But loving your work mate keep going!

FYI mines the beast... Complete different style but that's the best thing about this game!

:) After our conversations and calculations mate went with the 15x6's probably could have got the 7's on the rear but
I want to lower it so this way I can drop it down at least a couple of inches
Thanks for all your help Blacky with the measurements much appreciated :thumbsup:
