Good stuff. I'll get some paint mixed up this week.

Never heard of a preval sprayer before, they look incredible. Can't believe I haven't heard of this before!

Thanks Gents

Hi, I thought I'd add this link for you. It was difficult to maneuver a conventional spray gun around in there. I managed to make it work.

Great thread Paul. Did you have to spray any undercoating for texture or just 2k sealer and single stage?

MetalDoc 07-05-2015 04:05 PM

Hi Farrell, All of the undercoating was in good shape. I just degreased, cleaned and scuffed up, more than once. The texture from the original undercoating is still there. Both the sealer and color coat were single stage with appropriate amount of hardner added.

So, i just got the motor mostly back in the car, but the final bolt on the drivers side engine mount won't tighten all the way. the holes are half an inch from lining up perfectly and with all my pry bars and extra hands i can't get it to move anymore. does it have to line up exactly or can it be pulled into place? is the motor just off center and thats why the bolt won't fully tighten?

do you put the transmission mount bolts in first or vice versa?

Motor mount problems... Look at those motor mounts. You will see
that they are bolted to the car and the cross member on the transmission.
My trick is to loosen up those motor mounts so you have some slop
to work with. It's much easier to get the bolts started in to the car
if those motor mounts have some give... Tighten up those motor mounts
after the bolts are in.

HTH.

cool, ill loosen all the bolts up today and try to get her in place.

thanks!
