Project update - pretty orange bedliner
check it out, my next update will show those silver cradles mounted along with my tirelessly polished control arms, painted suspension and new steel lines
ill be interested to see just how well the bedliner will stand up to the harsh abuse of the highways - and doesn't that welded logo, stand out nice with it's silver paint?

looks
and its not paint its a two part epoxy sprayable truck bed liner with orange urethane paint in the mixture, as well it adds a great deal of protection for the new floor since there is just shy of 4 gallons sprayed on it (its approx. 1/4" thick in the wheel wells) also i have a difinitive hatred for rust being that im a body man so i want it to stand up really well

But all the weight... 
LOL, just kiddin'
That's a very nice job... I'm doing similiar on mine, but without the rotissire, just grinding, priming and bedlining. I'm hoping it withstands the elements, although my car is a dry summer day only vehicle that is stored inside anyway (what can I say, I share your intense hatred of rust
)
Keep up the great work, can't wait to see that car all done!

I was going to ask where Hagersville was but decided I was going to do a search. I'm from Toronto and forsee myself living here for the rest of my life. But seriously, you should come out to our meets and provide some additional Insight to your project.
I have a friend (Body man) that used to work at Maranello Motors. He repaired crashed up Lamborghinis, Porsches etc there. We worked out an exchange basis on wiring up his
Shop (which Incidently Is In his backyard) for an Immaculate paint job on my car. I plan on stripping my FC to the condition that yours Is In, glassbeading the suspension components, new Bushings and many more things I could go Into detail with - but I don't want to hijack your thread. Current pics can be found here:

It's nice to know another hardcore 7 owner that goes all out In the pursuit of excellence.

I did a quick n dirty paintjob last spring, and it turned out pretty damn good 
I didn't have any rust to worry about, and the car always seems to have something pretty major break before winter starts so I never worry about that, either...
That looks REALLY good, I'll probably come pay you a visit sometime in the near future, I'm in hamilton alot. I want to see the car

Trust Me that stuff is about as durable as you can get. I know a guy back east who covered his bronco in that stuff and even though he has dented a few fenders and quarterpanels he has neve scratched the stuff. THe only problem you will have with that stuff is dirt and grime accumilating in the nooks and crannys. Even after presure washing it's hard to get out. But on the bright side you dont have to worry about rust on the underbody and you WILL notice lower temps inside the car.

i also thought after this i'll be able to ditch the sound deadening material on the underside of the carpet, i mean you notice a big difference from when you tap on the floor after it was sandblasted clean, to after i put the bedliner on. now when you tap it sounds far more muffled, hopefully ditching the sound insulatoin will help equalize the wieght factor (even though im not **** on that)
