Red 5's shiny rocker cover and other bling (pics)

Uncle Arthur · Postby **Uncle Arthur** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 8:22 am

I recently offered Red 5 that I'd polish a rocker cover to go with her recently (dodgy) replaced motor. It's obviously still a work in progress, with a bit more than half done, but pics below... (the bottle of metal magic in the background is not what I've used to do the polishing (just a coincidence it's in the pic).....

And additional blinginess associated with my turbo project includes:

Metal top 2 core radiator (off the automatic) with the fans straight off the old radiator given a coat of paint.....

The shiny turbo (now also fully rebuilt - you can see the nice clean turbine and compressor wheels)

Blinded by the bling! I couldn't be bothered going to all that trouble, so I'm fortunate that my car comes pre-blinged! :lol:

When's the ETA on the turbo kit install?

the turbo is looking great mate.. did you sort out that problem you had with those guys???

i recognise the tube that the injectors are in

are you gonna keep the rocker cover polished or you gonna paint it red?

Thanks for the compliment on the turbo - lots of hard work so far to get it to what's above from its 'pre-state':

These are the before.....

I haven't sorted out those guys, but with the turbo looking this good inside and out I'm not too fussed right now...

And that's not my rocker cover - it's Red5's - I'm doing it as a side 'project' - just to see if I can..... (and how bloody time consuming it really is)

The turbo, on the other hand looks drool worthy especially considering the pic showing its previous state..
