    Default the dirty thirty

    Haven't posted on here in a while, last time I was on here I was driving a Galant haha...well I picked this up last year, and it's been quite a journey. Still much more to do; i head swap coming soon!







    Far right...




    More recent...fog delete, plate filler on the trim added, lip...taken off. Have an iS (big, built in fogs) valence I'm prepping for paint that I'm putting on.


    And I'm sure at least some of you know what this shit all over my wheels is...

    Thank you sir! The new front valence I'm putting on will make the front of my car look similar to that one. And the crap on my wheels is aircraft stripper...I'm stripping and polishing them haha.

    Thank you! And I think with a brush is more effective because you can concentrate it on certain areas and apply it thicker. To polish, I'm starting out with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to get all of the pits out, then moving to 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then using a polishing drill attachment to apply the polishing compound.

    Power ball would work, I'm just using an old school rotating pad haha. Bottlecaps are a bitch with all the tight spaces though, so I may end up getting a power ball for that or either just hand polishing. Let me know how it goes!
