fla 9 Posted February 12, 2007 ToffeeRado, ? What do you use to protect the polished surfaces eg manifold, cooler, alternator from corrosion? Can they be sprayed with lacquer or something? Otherwise i would imagine that the shine would disappear quite rpidly after installation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets see my gearbox in my g60 has been sitting outside almost 2 years still shiny, it stays shiny for a while, it wont get dull and loose refection that's for sure and if does I don't think spending 2 minutes with a cloth and good polish is that big of a hassle.

It because I have Vr fender and g60 suspenion so i can run my 9x16's Brocks off toffee or any wider wheel easier with out having to mod fenders. Taillight are FK all clear smoked but I smoked the bottom half my self only set in the world like it I think lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToffeeRado 0 Posted May 11, 2007 So I haven't been on here for a very long time someone told em to update the progress so if you dotn go on E38 you prob havent seen much. Well I cut down my fornt motor mount braket to fit my g60 hood. I Put in a manaul steering rack from a early mk2 GTI. I Took my manifold in to work and had it smoothed. Started to clean up the bay. Polished My oil pan Then took it to the next level. how it sits right now basically. Oh yeah car is wired up but I havent tried ot start it yet I need to put coolent hoses and stuff on and finish the engine bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Jepers D with all that polishing I'm surprised you still have any fingers! Loving the smoothed VR6 intakes they reall clean up the bay on their own! However would have thought you'd have finished this twice over by now! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Looking damn good matey! 8) Have you thought about shaving the third brake light - kinda spoils the rear IMO... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
