Operation Engine Detail...IS DONE!!!

It's been over a year now and I've gone through more headaches and quite frankly, short-term depression states than I would have liked because of my car. LOL The misery however, is finally coming to an end (**knock on wood**) and I have pictures to prove it!!! :biggrin: LOL

Before getting into the pictures though, I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who has helped me along the way. Your support has been noted and I really appreciate each of your contributions. With that said however, I would like to give a special THANKS to two individuals who has helped me more than they probably even know themselves: Stealthee: for all your help with my annoying questions that made no kind of sense yet you explained it to me anyways. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with me! Jason: PMP ROCKS BRO! Parts, service, and advice about everything that was going just really helped me through those down times. THANKS buddy! I am forever indebted to ya'll!!!

Okay guys...the pictures as promised...

I hope you guys enjoyed it!!! :p

NOTE: I don't know why all the wire loom and hoses look baby blue but they are NOT baby blue!!! Bad lighting I guess... LOL

WOW!!! Bro that looks amazing. The only thing left to do is relocate the battery and change the black radiator hose and you will have a real clean engine bay. Who did the valve covers and plenum??

^^Hey, thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I've been waiting for a polished radiator hose from IPS since last year but those guys take FOREVER!!! Dunno what gives...

The plenum and VCs were CHROMED by a shop about an hour from where I live called High Lustre Chroming. Quite expensive but they do excellent work!!!

Beautiful! That is one schweet engine you might say.

:D

Wait, your car is blue? I never knew this. :lol: :bigthumb:

Very nice, that looks amazing nice work. im slowly getting to detailing my engine like that but im more into the buisness end of my car =). but ill get there i do a lil bit of detailing here and there.

My eyes hurt:naughty:

But for real man that looks awesome! I would say it was worth the wait

Dam! very nice. How much did that cost you?

Dam! very nice. How much did that cost you?

A LOT! It wouldn't have been that bad but the first shop that I sent my parts to messed up half of the order so I had to get them all redone. The worse part is that when they're chromed, it's very hard to remove the chrome without damaging the part so I had to repurchase the plenum, valve cover, oil stick, and the dress-up covers (not all but they only come as a set) to get them rechromed at a different shop. Even worse, the guy never covered anything that he messed up!! :mad:

Damn, that's beautiful! maybe someday...
