Paging George Graves

Yea, I am looking at about $100. Maybe alittle bit less then $100

This is for:
2 bottles of Jelly
2 Cans of High heat dupilcolor paint
3M Degreaser/wax remover
Oven Cleaner...FREE (ask your parents)
Gloves
Brushes (paint/wire)
..I know I am missing stuff.

I think of it this way, if I can get my motor looking half as good as yours, its $100 well spent.

I also am running out of time, so for $160 my BMW mechanic is going to put the motor back together, hook all the wiring back up, so I can plug her into the car.

I dropped closer to $150 I think. But I had a lot of different paint for different parts and got the "good" stuff from eastwood.

BTW - keep break cleaner away from your motor after you paint it. I haven't, but if you did, it would just ruin the paint.

Do yourself a favor, look nerdy and wear some eye protection. Hell, wear a rubber just in case...

haha, I am going to be wearing eye protection and thick rubber gloves. Will wear a rubber and post pics..maybe me and Kate can get together and take pics...ehh..bad image in my head now.

Yea, you probably spent a lot more then me. I am not going to paint, might change my mind tomorrow, the timing chain covers and stuff. The head is hopefully getting milled/cleaned tomorrow so I won't have to paint that.

I will be painting the valve cover like yours (black w/ the silver ribs) but will also be painted the intake manifold to match. So its basically going to be a "murda'd" out e30.
Black paint, black wheels, black motor, black interior, should be fun.

License plate is going to read " dshitbox". I asked the DMV told them it is "dsh" "it" "box", we have a restaurant called "Lets Dish" and said I worked there. haha Hopefully when the time comes I will still be approved.

Alright, just got done with the first side of the block, I am doing 1 at a time. I am done with the jelly. Now I can see all the numbers, tags and all very clearly. The block is still black though, which I am pretty sure it should be, and still very rough but doesn't look to be rusty.

Also Jelly works WONDERS on floorboards.

Did we ever see pics of this?

DJ get off yo lazy ass and get this shit done, all these nice folks want to see pictures.

[Mastrcruse]

haha, I will put up pics when the engine is completely done. Its going to look purrrdyy. I am waiting for powder coated valve cover/intake mani's to come it. :nice:
