You don't need to remove paint that is sound, or that you are happy is sound underneath, normally I would just strip to bare metal any areas that you know need attention, then spot prime these and sand the existing paint smooth

Special brown primer for the first hand then 2k primer for filling and then 2/3 hands of 2k paint... I think that will do just fine for the next 20 years or so...

Ohyes, i'm really impressed by their driving! I don't think there's so much info about Tom's 164 on the web, but I've got a magazine from last year with some specs etc. Engine: B30 2996cc, 270-280 hp (even more this year), close to 300 Nm. Built by Jonas Banck (JB-engine). Transmission: Standard 4-speed M400 with close-ratio gearset, 4,88 final drive. Suspension: Öhlins-dampers. Brakes: Standard ventilated discs, Brembo 4-pot calipers. Well, that's about it Best regards Bjorn

No problem at all, I'm happy to help. Found some more info about the engine: It's built mainly for drivability, with a special camshaft from KG Trimning (www.kgtrimning.com), forged pistons, radius valve seats, 46/38,5 valves and triple Weber 48's. I know they had some issues with torsional vibration, but that is now sorted.
Best regards Bjorn

Some engine dampers would work great or some solid mounts...
