    C/4s were built by Pininfarina while Daytonas by Scaglietti. Big difference in construction. Seems lots of Daytonas have cancer in various places. I have not seen the same on C/4s.

    I confirm as a c/4 owner, that my car has no rust. But she never was driven in winter when the roads are salty. Jacques

    This is what the hobby is all about. It gets people (myself included) thinking about more than
    throwing a ton of money at the latest / greatest Maranello creation. If there is another Daytona out there that can be had for a decent price.. I am all-in on going thru the
    restoration process. If anyone can guide me into this vortex of fun, please PM me.

    This is a great thread!

    Are you guys taking some steps (beyond the obvious) to keep it from rusting as badly as in the future?

    I'm thinking of things like addressing the places where water collects, etc.

    The colour in the pictures seems like copper coating to me. Is this correct?

    Absolutely, just making sure all the work is done to prevent any further rusting by taking the steps to treat the visible rust by killing it with rust mort and we use a rust stop and that seals up the inside infected areas as best as we can.

    After checking door and skin fitment... we checked through some suspicious holes on the rockers and a noticed a few weak areas, we went to investigate and found that the rockers needed to be completely re-made up and the underside gone through and treated for rust.

    We also have work to do on the front nose, shown in picture number one some rust starting there and the underside just looks hammered - this will also have to be corrected.

    Yes.... we do go the extra mile.. it has to be right.

    John we did not.. we did our welding and then sent it off to our radiator shop to check it out. It worked perfectly!

    Was that transmission painted or did you just power wash it really well, or both?

    Did the inside of the trans case get painted to before it was put back together?

    The paint on the interior was in great shape, with good adhesion everywhere, so, it wasn't disturbed.

    Thanks for all the great details you are providing about what goes into restoring a Daytona! Probably a little early to ask but is this Daytona being restored as a showcar with correct paint and metal colors plus details like decals and silkscreen labels or as a driver?

    I didn't know that you put any kind of coating on the INSIDE of the trans... is this something new?

    This is an OLD long established process used to seal the pourous castings. It's used on all types including engine blocks, oil pans, transmissions and any type of casting that holds fluids. Regards, Mike
