Engine bay work
Finished up a little more of my engine bay work this afternoon. Figured I would share a few pics.
   When I decided I was going to replace the old stock plugs and wires with some new NGKs I figured that would be the best time to do some cosmetic work as well. So, I ordered all new gaskets and some polishing supplies. I still need to do some plenum polishing...it isn't quite as shiny as I was hoping to get it. But I was running out of time before I needed the car to get to work. =/

Re: Engine bay work

Re: Engine bay work
Looks good bro. You're using the same theme that I'm planning to use....blue, chrome, and of course all the black stuff.
 Good job!-By the way, what kinda intake system do you have? Is the pipe from 3sx or something off ebay? |

Re: Engine bay work
Have you found an easy way to flatten out the pits while polishing up the aluminum?

Re: Engine bay work
I used Dupli-color Metalcast to paint the valve cover after it was sand-blsted and cleaned.
Then I used Testors paints and a brush to paint the letters and Mitsu diamond. Thourun: Try a sandblaster. It is going to ruin the polishing you have already done. But taking the time with the blaster should get the metal worked down to even out the pits. Then repolish.
