Dropped off 4 in the box chrome American Racing Haze wheels and a new set of 4 TPMS at the tire store. Ordered the 4 new Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max to go on them for pickup on Thursday. Can't wait to pick the new guy up - just one more day, two nights to go.

 

Lugnut came in couldn't resist had to put the new wheels on

 

Lots of driving today, love zinging on the super-slab w/cruise set..

 

Worked on the Blower a little more here, making some progress.

ALOT more work to go on it, but it should look pretty darn Sweet under my Panels hood on the 2.4l.

Started out like this.


After some hours sanding it down.


And were it's is at tonight. ALOT of work and ALOT still to come, but it's getting there.

 

It looks like those hours of sanding paid off, it looks pretty good
Are you powdercoating or painting it?

 

Thanks, it's alot of work but will be worth it.

Neither. I am just Polishing it out to a high gloss. I won't say a mirror polish, I'll give in before I reach that level.

Highly Polished. It should come out looking like my wheels.

I saw some posts on another forum about guys Polished out Blowers and they posted a couple links to some polishers and they get between $600.00 - $850.00. And higher. I can see Why they get that much, it is Very time consuming. I had all the tools and polishing stuff needed already, so I am just investing Time in it.

I got Time on my hands so I can do it Myself for that kinda money. Still gathering up parts so it's just sitting, might as well make it Pretty.

Take a LOOK at what this place Achieves! WOW!

Buff/polish/buff some more, more polishing, etc. etc. ........ Can I go to bed now? Dammit, it's not even 10:00 yet.

 

Washed it and detailed the outside with Meguires quick spray stuf in the black bottle . Then it promply RAINED on it O well it was clean for about an hour.....

Would a done the inside but honestly we don't get it dirty . just wipe the tiny bit of dust off the steering colum and dash .

Did the tires with the Mguirers spray on and forget it stuf and thats it . cut the grass and called it a day and watched it rain .
