Well there has been some major progression done if you ask me!
There has been quite a bit of sandblasting\prepping\cleaning going on with my parts that are going to be getting powdercoated so here is a little update..
As a reference to some descriptions below I am going with these 2 colors mainly;
Black Chrome:
Not my pipes though.
Red:
My intake before:
The intake after cleaning\fixing\trueing up the lettering:
Also with that intake it is going to be a Black Chrome color(Amazing color by the way) while the lettering will be getting all taped off and coated with the red that I will be doing in my engine bay. Those pics will be up when it has been done!
Next on the list is my BOV, because I have the OLD style HKS BOV, it is possible to take it completely apart very easily and have it powdercoated as well. The BOV will be going with the same paint scheme as the Intake (Black\Red) So here is a couple pics:
Cleaned up:
Prepped for coating:
I also have my water neck being coated so here is a pic of it all cleaned up:
My Upper intercooler piping was what you could call kind of a mess, so I had a custom pipe made to the exact specs of what I had it connected with via couplers and such:
Also had the BOV flange cleaned up, can't really tell in this pic but this is a middle stage pic of the UICP:
I am going to cover some hoses, like rad hoses, some vacuum lines and such with this nifty kit:
Well that's the update for today, There are a few more parts being coated also, as well as a few more on the list to get sent down. Have the perfect person working on my parts and they are very easy to work with so as time goes on, the bay will get to be looking nicer. I have not been able to do much more with parts in the engine bay as the weather has not been the greatest up here in PG. Just got 11cm of snow last night! :p
