[Dirty Octopus]

Everything lookin goood! The wheels Miro's? IF so dont they come with a polished lip? Lol idk

actually they're machined i believe. they look kinda diamond cut. here's a comparison between the OE finish and polished. you can barely see the difference but there the reflectiveness is substantially better. keep in mind that in this picture i havent even applied Mothers.

lol yeah thanks homie!!!

back in 04 before i put in my LS motor i flat blacked my engine bay cuz it was the mad cool thing to do in those days. and if i saw it starting to flake i'd just dupli-color dat hoe sum mo'! so yeah.... i probably had 3 years and 5 coats worth of flat black in my engine bay. NOT good.

So yeah... i got to work.

I aircraft stripped the ENTIRE bay and 240 gritted down to bare metal. the OE white was gone and errthang!!

i do applaud the effort as you are more of a man than me to keep a car through all the crap i like to avoid. spending money to keep a car running is a con in my book but i guess that's how the best cars get built, maybe.

Well ya see… fixing the car was always cheaper than purchasing another one for me. I was a man of minimal means so I had to make do with what I had. I could have sold the car last year but there’s also the sentimental value factor. I have been through sooo much good and bad with this car but the good outweighs the bad. Hell… I took my wife on our first date in this car and boned on the trunk. How could I possibly get rid of it?!
