I like to see how people do things, not how it turned out So I want to keep my build thread built off of that idea.

[Dwob]

I enjoy the photos in your thread for some reason.

[Goredon]

the chemicals in the mixture remove the rust from metal i.e bolts.

Small Update:

I went to the DMV today because I left my wallet in a taxi in Mexico... Well, anyways I had a wait of an hour and a hald so I went in to the parking lot and started to run my iPod connector from my trunk to my center console.








^Sorry about all the iPhone pics... Didn't have my DSLR with me.



After posting this I need to get back to sanding my waffles! My car went into the shop today because I had a check engine light on. I'm pretty sure it is just the faulty gas cap but who knows, it drove fine. I'll be able to finishing hiding the iPod wire once I get my car back.

I like your pics, very detailed and the build is coming along nicely

what camera/ lens are you using? I would do an exif data but I'm being lazy right now lol.

Subd, nice build!

[NathanHeeney]

I started to make some headway in refinishing my wheels. I have one face sanded so far but all of my center caps have been sanded.

Sanding got boring so I took some photos.

^Yeah.....

^Yeah.....

This thread.
Is awesome.

I got tired of sanding the faces so I bought some paint stripper. It got most of the paint off already. I just need to do a few more coats of it to take it down to the metal.

My jewelers polish should come in sometime next week so I polish the lips the right way.

Love the progress man, im actually refinishing my style 5's aswell!
Do you have any picture's of how your lips ended up?
I sanded one of my lips and it doesn't seem close to being ready for polish and I want something to compare it to.
can't wait ti see the end results!

[Wout CSL]

Good looking project! Silver on the style 5's definitly looks best with the red IMHO.
Looking forward to see more progress in project.
