I can't find it on their site. I was after some sort of description for the car.
Is it common to spray the underside, inner wings etc the same colour or is it just the easy option because it was just a shell?

You'll probably see it on their site soon. I got an email from them since I had asked for a price on a previous coupe.

118K US dollars.
Gorgeous car.
Even at $118k, I still don't know how these guys make any money restoring E9s unless they're really cutting corners somewhere.

I wonder if they're painting straight onto the undercoating or is the undercoat new and "tinted" baikal.
I know you can color-match truck bedliner, but bedliner usually don't look THIS THICK.

They have an Inka lightweight coming up for sale soon
That was my concern also. More of a concern was this was just an indication of laziness and time/cost savings.
It wouldn't make sense to put all that work and to not remove the factory undercoating. I'm sure they lay it on thick so it can avoid rock chips, but with bedliner, you can lay it on thin and it will protect from rock chips like no other.

albeit a poor photo, this is how the undercoating was done, after the bare metal restoration on my CS. Mind you, I don’t think it’s seen much rain or gravel since.

It looks like they have put the old fuel lines back on and all the fixings are exposed/rusting.
Fuel pipe comes with that green varnish on it I think.
I’m not a body guy but I do know you can paint over undercoating. It’s no different than painting over seam sealer. You can also add flex agent to the paint as they do with modern cars. You can depress the plastic bumper on any modern car with your finger or a bad parallel parking job. The paint is fine if mixed correctly, and never flakes.
Thank you. my concern was why they did it if the car was completely stripped and effort, I thought they would go for originality. Like I say maybe a cost thing.
Simple solution would be to present a dozen or so representative photos of the restoration process at key junctures.

must be good business for those guys... as every week they pop up with a restored E9.
My guess would be that much of the body and paint work is done in Eastern Europe, using Soviet-trained aerospace engineers.

you folks are a really tough audience. I think you could find a barnacle on a boat before it reached the water.
That said, there is amazing knowledge in this forum.
