Need a Little VX Help

A fun project for sure!
Just curious, ever find out what the black coating was on the undercarriage?

No, not yet. I am not convinced that the black coating is oil from leaving the fill cap off during engine start up. Which is what the prevoius owner had said. Also the strange wear on the tire, is from driving it after the accident, with the front wheel at angle.

There is always a little bit of investigation, with a project like this.

I agree, since the spray was so uniform and covered so much (if not all) of the undercarriage, and had what appeared to be overspray on the fender liners….
I thought I touched it and it felt dry. I recall the guy you bought it from said there was no oil in engine when he received it. I also recall there was no AZ orange dust whatsoever sticking to the black undercarriage….so I thought it had to be relatively "freshly" applied. Hope you get her back on the road! Another one saved!

It does have an evident oil leak, I had to add some oil to drive it on the trailer. Engine light is on too. Leak visable under it. All this is the undisclosed problems that I will need to find.
