Rob_Mitchell Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Got alot done last night. I have 3 parts with me today which ill try and get mirror polished. My aim is to get 2-3 items mirror polished a day to meet the time schedule i have set. Im going to be leaving the inlet side till last, so im focusing on the turbo tidy up and main engine at the moment. Turbo intake is masked up now, to prevent any crap getting in. Couple of strip down pics, not great pics but thats how i roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not cutting off those water pipes and welding the holes Rob, it's a 5min job. Not if you remove the raised casting area the pipes fit into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not if you remove the raised casting area the pipes fit into Well cutting out the pipes and welding them up will look better than those rubber hose caps. There horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 This is the only way to go if your doing it in my opinion I did mine like that with a grinder at work, it took about 15mins to grind the lump off and about an hour to smooth it after it was welded.

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) It was not initially included in the budget i have BUT im going to send it out to Lee at SRD to flush the water neck for me. Im going to get a second hand water neck bit later on and try and do them myself but for Deans build ill let Lee do it Edited January 30, 2013 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Nice edit Rob lol I think it is important to add some context to this "tidy up", I have agreed a budget with Rob, a good budget but a budget none the less so there will be some restrictions to what is and is not in scope, I am however very confident that it will look great and if the budget was raised the finish would be reflective ( excuse the pun), as many on here with show quality bays know it is a massive labour of love and expense, I am not looking for a show bay, just a bay that does not embarrass me when the bonnet is opened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Good to see this thread Dean, Your Supra was looking nice on the last Dragonball, but it's going to be a fair few levels up by May by the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
