Picking up my wheels from Dave at renewed finishes Saturday! Here's a sneak peak.

The result if a night of sandblasting and powder coating.

Favorite picture I took that night, 5.00 powder and a stove top oven haha!

So glad we got a nice weekend to hang out and get shit sorted. You also got to PC everything! that engine is going to be FRESH! I love how all that Matte coating came out.

Yeah, great feeling to have all that taken care of! Looking forward to getting the details painted on this weekend.

do i spot a broken valve in piston #2?? (first page pics) Nice progress, i would suggest black door handles though!

Just the angle of the picture! I have 2 sets of valves to pick from, the original I head and the SETA set. I mixed and matched the best conditioned ones then gave them a polish. Door handles are definitely going back to black and maybe the mirrors too. Thanks for taking a look!

Frank drinks tons of beer




Powder coating commences

[Swanny]

Head's back together. New springs and valve seals. Also polished the bejesus out of the old valves. Wished I had taken some video of the process but I got lost in the work.

[Swanny]

And after...

Powder coating some parts and trying to figure out a fun design for the valve cover and intake.

Spent the morning scrubbing out the engine bay and getting ready for some bed liner action. Not doing anything crazy with shaving or that nonsense just get little bit of surface covered up and get a little protection where all the sound deadening used to be.

[Swanny]

Parts are in! Just had my last night at my old job! Spending the next 4 days digging in and getting some serious work done.

Step 1 - strip old sound deadening and paint the engine bay....pics coming soon.

[Swanny]

Last two days have been giving the e39 a proper spa treatment with some clay bar, wax, and solid interior scrub down. Used the as seen on tv stuff called Wipe New and it already seems to do a better job than back to black. Also helped get rid of the old wax residue that was all over the bumper and roof rack.

We'll see what today holds as I would like to get into the engine bay to scrub down everything and plan what to shave while I yank out the A/C components.

We can always just tow you around with Frank and I. ;D
