    Hello,

    I will have it on my lift tomorrow where I plan to take many pictures. I will also be taking pictures of the engine/transaxle before they go back in.

    I just spent about 10 hours scraping all of the old undercoating off of the S. Often a dicey proposition because sometimes you find things under old undercoating that can ruin your day and/or make a big dent in your bank account.

    I was very happy to uncover one of the nicest original pans I have seen in quite awhile - probably the nicest I've ever seen in a Euro delivery car. I did remove the original Gas Heater exhaust pipe, which is also in good shape. I plan to refit it after the pans are resealed.Name:  pan.jpg

    Looks fantastic. What did you use to remove the old undercoating (plastic scraper, wire brush, chemicals?). I would like to do that with mine as well.
