Back in the polishing game again

Like the eccentric shaft

What are you using to coat these to stop them going rusty?

Ada7 · February 19, 2013, 08:37:44 PM

Haven\'t used anything on them to stop them rusting. A quick squirt of Pledge now and again helps

Have added to it now... I think this one came out even better than the first and like the contrast with the inner bearing polished out to show the copper

And the first piece i\'ve actually sold on...

Lots more to do. Alternator, TB, UIM and a housing are just the start of it all.

Yeh that would be ok but be aware those felts don\'t last to long.

Been busy doing more. Few days work done as one post.

Finished my first alternator. This is going to have some bits painted as well so will look great.

Also, some might say life\'s to short to polish plenums. Good job I\'m stupid enough to not listen to them.
Here we go again...

And then...
Got the plenum finished.

Looks a lot better than what you start with

If anyone whats any bits doing then please let me know and i\'ll see if i can help you out

And finianlly today...

It was far to cold to work on my car today, didn\'t really fancy getting frost bite so spent a few hours in the shed polishing again. Getting a bit of a habit now :p

All looks great together.

Made a start on another plenum and a LIM as well today.

Got a bit more done today but its so cold that after a few hours in the shed i couldn\'t feel my feet anymore. Has some joker swapped the seasons about and we\'ve gone back to the start of winter again!!

Anyway, Nik very kindly gave me some bits the other week. 2 of them were a couple of rear turbo pipes that he\'d polioshed up. The tops needed touching up so gave them a quick sanding and then a good hard polish to make them really shine

Â£20 each if anyone is interested

Doing this also gave me a chance to do a comparrasion picture of the different stages of the work.
Left is the starting metal. Middle after 3 stages of sanding and the right one is the finished pipe

Finally i had a small visitor today which was nice.

Seem to be getting swamped with turbo pipes :p

Ada7 · April 04, 2013, 08:19:31 PM

mpk490p · May 03, 2013, 09:35:37 PM

Happy just looking at the photos mate!

Managed to get back in the shed the other day for the first time in ages. I was a productive day too with 2 pieces finished

Just did the TB and alternator. Alternator and UIM are for a very patient customer and the TB is for a big order coming soon so I thought I\'d get a head start
