not engine related, but more cosmetic,

I ordered my two peice timing cover, so future cam swaps will be easy without disrupting the oil pan seal.

also i finished sanding painting sanding and painting my wheels, i used a gun metal color on my iroc wheels, they came out looking good, will took a pic, i will try to get it from him.

and then last but not least, i took apart my taillights, cleaned them up and in process of doing the red turn signal mod and polishing the hell out of them with mothers powerball

You're polishing you're taillights?

I still have not found the center caps.......I have no idea where the ran away to......? I'll look again this weekend.

Jason

thanks jason, they would compliment my wheels very well, and yes bigfosty, i am polishing my taillights

You're not getting off that easy, explain polishing the taillights, I'm, not quite sure I understand. Just the outside plastic? I guess this cleans them and makes them brighter? Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of someone polishing their taillights.

Taillights are plastic, clear coat like urethane is plastic, you can buff plastic taillights and headlights with buffing compound and a buffer or just by hand. Just use the same proccess on the taillights as clear coat, buff with a more aggressive pad, switch to a polish pad and polish compound, then clean. Lights can also be repaired if you have scratches. Use some 1500 and then 2000 grit wet sanding the scratches and then buff. You may want to practice on a throw away light first though. JUST DONT GET THE PLASTIC TOO HOT.

I never thought about that, makes complete sense now.

Travis, I have that pic of the rims for you, I will e-mail it to you tonight so you can post it. Nice job on the wheel paint by the way, can't wait to see the tailights, hope they go well.

thanks.

are u at work now?

two piece timing cover huh, i wonder who told you to do that last motor ago

Bigfrosty - if you ever get over to the Auto Appearance board, you'll see the sticky.
Lots of people have polished them with different materials and good results.

Travis (aka, bish), sorry I have not e-mailed you the pics yet, too damn busy with work and trying to buy this house. Anyway, they are coming your way tonight for sure, talk with you later, I will be on msn messenger later tonight if you are on. I get off work around 8:15 or so.

thanks will, heres the pic guys,

Now if a certain somebody could find me some wheelcaps for me to buy, they would finish off this awesome wheel.

oh and i mounted the wheels on my car today with new chrome lugnuts and it looks damn good.

nice except for the overspray lol

the overspray was long gone before i even mounted them. aluminum detail brush takes all of 1 minute to clean off the rubber

pic on the car?

i got those rims

i'll have pics tonight.

hey the shop called today and asked again what crank i had because they were just now getting ready to start the balancing, i am soo happy, they are almost done!!!

as soon as will emails me some pics, i will have them up posted with them on my car.

Glad to hear it's coming along bish, it's about time, sucks not having another thirdgen parked next to mine. I already e-mailed you the pics, hurry up and post them.
