needs a little more polishing and some un-rusted bolts for the coil

bad04srt · Post by **bad04srt** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:49 am

ya i know....but im getting a new coil soon so i'm just gonna get new ones then.....and w/the actual cover it was just finished a few days ago so i wanted to wait before actual polishing it

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:11 pm

like i said in my pm, it looks good, but i think the silver needs to be broken up a smidge...

Turbo setup being assembled, the only problem, things just do not go well with this car. Its all mocked up and ready for piping and getting done, when my best friend/mechanic wrecks his bike and is still recovering. Its his shop, and he's the only one who I allow to work on it, so it can sit...I've got 2 other cars to drive, so this one isnt really a rush, and think, I've paid another years worth of car payments and it hasnt moved! Still has 37K miles on it lol.
