my studies, it appears that all Tigers had a crude black undercoating job from the factory. Is this in fact true? What is current wisdom in this area? While I understand the need for protection unde

It's your car and your in the drivers seat, in more ways than one, for fit and finish. I believe color or undercoating is acceptable. My Tiger has undercoating but the Alpine parts car does not. Cur

Just as a tidbit of information. My at the time new off the showroom floor MKII had undercoating. As I remember, I asked the dealer to put it on. Several weeks later the car would not start. I checke

Undercoating was a dealer option. It hides rust and structural damage well. Paint it with a good poly body color paint system. Larry

My Tiger, which was originally sold in upstate New York, then moved to Massachusetts where I found it in 1977, had undercoating, much of which is still in place. Along with plugging drain holes, the

So, how does one remove the undercoating? Chemical, media blasting, pointed stick? This is one of my next projects so I'm just curious what might be most effective. I seem to remember that I can poke

Removing the undercoating is a bit painful. Blasting usually will not work as the undercoating is soft and simply 'absorbs' the blast media. Chemical stripping is possible but 'ugly'. I found the be

I think the best way to remove your undercoating and factory body sealant/caulking it to first remove it by hand. This can be done with a large assortment of screwdrivers/scrapers then have the car m

An alternative to a torch.....invest in a heat gun? I have one I believe is a "Rigid". It has 2 heat settings and will peel paint off houses, putty from windows, etc.. and other medium. It should tak

Tim has a very timely question, at least for me as well. I am thinking about turning over one of my tigers to someone in the east to restore the body, while i do the engine and interior seperately. I

With my car on a rotisserie, I used a 1200 watt hair blower with a putty knife and screwdriver. I tried the torch route, but didn't like burning myself. The residue cleaned up easily with paint thinn

I restore Tigers here in the West and have used this process: clean to bare metal (on a rotisserie), fix any metal problems, epoxy primer follow by seam sealer, then paintable/flexible undercoating,

I can confirm the ugly process. I stripped the heavy stuff with a heat gun and paint scraper. I highly recommend long sleeves to protect against dripping molten undercoating. I wiped down to bare met

When we were doing race car prep, one ugly task was to remove the sound-deadener tar/felt matting that was applied to the inside floor areas. I'd used the scraper/heat/solvent method several times, b
