TheTurtleshead Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I was only tugging your chain Rob! It all looks very shiny indeed, still think you should plate the turbo housings though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be going nicely! mega chuffed with the sheilds i keep going out and looking at them!... sad i know!!! 1) repaint water pump housing. 2) paint all unions/connections in shiney black. 3) Polish 1 intake tube 4) Polish 2 intercooler pipes 5) mirror polish and then Gold plate 17 jubilee clips.

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Gave the modified water pump a good clean and rub down today. Then gave it a nice coat of chrome silver just to tidy it up and make it look like stock. All unions/fixings have been painted now in HT black paint. Going to swap all the water housing bolts over when i strip my car down as mine has gold plated ones fitted.

Rob_Mitchell Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Finished the 2 intake pipes. God knows what Lee had got them coated in but it was a absolute nightmare to get rub down... looked like they were powder coated. Came out nice in the finish.
