Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 11-05-2012
so did a bit of work on the manifold today, just cleaning it up really. stripped all the gubbins off it a few days back, so this is what it looked like when my dremel's battery died

then i attacked it with the wire brush on a drill, and thats cleaning it up nicely. think im gunna get/borrow an electric sander tho, chewing through dremel drums otherwise...

Looks sweet mate
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Grant - 11-05-2012
You going for a polished metal manifold?
That would look awesome!
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 11-05-2012
cheers guys. i dunno. hadn't originally, was gunna be smooth satin black... but i am a massive fan of shiny, i even spent about 6 hours polishing my safety knife for work....
i might have to decide when i get it all clean and smooth ready for priming... might be tempted to polish it, but i also really want it on the car...............
also, gun gummed up my back box to stop that blowing, but theres still a bit of a leak from the cat to mid section. ill sort that when i chop out boxes and stuff
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 16-05-2012
been productive today, a lovely box from poodle turned up today while i was putting the door handles back on the 'rocco, and it contained top engine and g/box mount and some nice new springs
. so got on with it, and had the new mounts on in about two hours. pretty good going, didnt encounter any problems, and i tidied up some rusty bits in the bay too. couple of pics..

and then i had the genius idea of using some bumper care on the blacks under the bonnet...

main noticeable difference is on the mani, and that'll be OUTTA THERRRE soon
Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Matt - 16-05-2012
Looking good mate. Still to much of a pussy to do my own mounts haha
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - samass - 16-05-2012
wimp. ill put a guide up later, literally, piss easy. worst bit was the top one, and even that was easy once i'd busted out the hammer and chisel.
Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Matt - 16-05-2012
I can just see myself getting them off but not being able to put new ones on haha
Re: Sam's '98 XSi - Pugly - Grant - 16-05-2012

the two outer branches have been sanded down with 120 grit paper, its shit tho, need proper paper!
stil undecided whether or not im gunna make it shiny as balls, or just smooth it a bit, then make it smoooooth satin black....
and yes, im whoring the fish eye a bit, but i dont care.
