Lew91 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Cheers matey, can't wait till its all painted properly now. Engine and exterior should be all done by Xmas so I can finally get boosting again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 With it being slack today at work I decided to have a little play around with the mani. Started off just giving it a quick polish over and then onto the acids and chemicals! End result: I'm not entirely happy with it i was hoping it would be a bit shinier but with the process used it should go all different shades of blue with the heat and in theory it shouldn't rust or tarnish again.

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 still looking class! would like to see it once you have had some heat through it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lew91 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm still selling the shell, I'm after a GT shell. I wanted a GT from the start really it was only because the V came up cheap that I went for it. Just did a quick mock up of the kit, just need some decent gaskets now and some new nuts and bolts. Down pipe will be heat wrapped and the waste gate obviously needs bolting on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks awsome dude , just a question for ya can intercooler cores be brought back to there former glory as mine on full view with the toms front bumper n wondered if it would be worth doing ? Nice work as usual mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lew91 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Cheers buddy The sides, top and bottom can be polished like mine yes but all I did with the actual core centre is ran a scotch brite pad down the solid pieces either side of the fins and then just sprayed it all with some brake and clutch cleaner, it brings them up pretty good.
