You can ship it to me mate in northern ireland I will sort it out in a week or ship me out there I will sort it in a week. Keep the head up a big project can be daunting to get started on however you may find a smaller workshop or semi retired painter would be the guy for you with the bodywork. Big workshops try to fill with a large volume of cars in order to pay there bills but they still have to do and complete what and when they say. Keep up the good work. I managed to build a full size batmobile tumbler of a toyota mr2 convertible doing it in 4 months before and after work. You should be fit to do about 80 percent of the paint prep which will save you a fortune and be less time consuming for a painter to take on as a job

Check engine gaskets, do a pressure test on the cylinders.

The white smoke means that It usually means that coolant is being burned in the engine, which means that something is drastically wrong. The most common cause of this is a blown head gasket, which can quickly lead to an overheating engine.

[@f1kwa399]

Please….from a guy who’s been around a while, don’t try painting it yourself, it’ll look dreadful, check out LNC Painter and see the lengths you need to go to, anything less will be a disaster. Otherwise, may I suggest you get it wrapped, or maybe you could try doing that instead, not easy but easier than painting it badly. Don’t try tuning it until you’ve got it running properly and most importantly sort out that smoking problem before you do anything, otherwise you’re likely just wasting your money. Good luck, you deserve some.

[@actschp1]

Couple of things with that low oil pressure light. It could be the oil sending unit. If it has failed it can reproduce the symptoms you're seeing. It could be that your bearings are completely wiped and the screen to the oil pick up tube is partially blocked. If you've over filled the engine and the crank is making the oil frothy, you could be just aerating the hell out of the oil and the oil pump can't pump foamy oil. (Providing, of course, that it isn't a dry sump. If it's a dry sump, then that wouldn't be an issue) Bottom line is, start from simple to more expensive. Replace the oil sending unit sensor. If that doesn't fix it, then you need to drop the pan and check for bearing material. Regarding the smoke, that looks like failed seals in both turbos. BUT! It could be the piston rings have failed. You can check that by doing a compression check and a leak down check. The leak down check will tell you more about the health of the rings than will a compression check. Hope it works out for you.

As i said this is my opinion and i hope i am wrong and it all works out for you as you seem a genuine person and work so hard to get these cars done.

Painting a car is a real job that ask years of practize... If you want a result that such supercars need. Of course, you can prepare the job with making preparation if the painter accept it. Some refuse because they are afraid that the paint can "move" because of bad preparation.. After sanding, you can put epoxy primer, high build primer then sand it to 600 grid. Such expensive cars need a perfect job and your diffuser hasn't a perfect result to my opinion. You have excellent skills and I am glad to see your videos but such sports cars need the best.

Not surprised on the body shop issue. We call it "bodyshop Hell" Some shops will promise the moon to get the vehicle in there, and then they ignore the custom or classic for months or years so they can bang out the collision work because it's quicker cash. I built a LS3 powered 1959 Corvette restomod and took it to a "recommended" paint shop, and $36,000 later, not only was it not finished.. the body and paint work was so poor, I had it picked up and hauled to another shop straighten the bodywork and paint out at a cost of another $5k.

If he had gotten off his ass, he could have, fixed the damages, blocked and primed it in one day, let it sit for a few days to really cure to avoid any shrinkage, blocked, DAed, wet scuffed, taped, cleaned and shot.

@@TheInja I was thinking of making a T off of an oil supply line and use one of the Autolite gauge kits. Just have it in temporary. A manual gauge to verify and then take it off. $30 for priceless peace of mind.

@@racingfortheson for sure! But we were actually able to read oil pressure via the Autel, so we're good!!

[@racingfortheson]

@@TheInja that’s so good to hear. So the turbo seals are bad? Making it smoke?

wrap is easy in comparison, and can be a whole lot cheaper

Every clip of the painter in your video, the guy is just standing around doing nothing. I wouldn't have been able to get the car out of there fast enough. It will work out, can't wait to see your paint job.
