Got some new polishing pads and professional grade compounds to re-polish some stuff. Water pipes up first. Current state
After sanding some scratches
After emery compound buff
After tripoli compound buff
After white compound buff
Compared to current state upper water pipe
Timing belt and other 'front' parts reinstalled
Front covers re-cleaned, polished, Klasse'd. Thanks Greg @ SpecialtyZ for the new UR pulley and HI water pulley.
BLING!
Finally I decided that the 300 Degree fuel rail isn't quite right. :)
Big thanks to Geo for coming over and assisting. Nice to have a fellow tt.NETer in the neighborhood! Cam covers and balance tube are being re-powdercoated. My 12+ year old yellow powdercoat was finally too beat up. Also having my new Mike Smith manifolds ceramic coated as well. Should be able to continue on the top and turbo re-assembly next week some time.
