Talking Polished my Intercooler pipes, check it out!

This pic doesn't do it justice, took about 1.5 hours but was well worth it.

You're making me feel lazy. Every time I try to polish something I give up.

Yea it is quite dangerous if you arent careful. One of the pipes caught and it slammed it on the ground putting a nice dent in one of them, luckly I was able to fix it pretty easy. I polished them at work where there is a full sheet metal shop basically with everything available for me to use.

Thats a nice looking engine bay

Makes me want to rip stuff off so I actually have room to look at my engine, instead of looking at the airpump, all the other belt driven parts, all of the plastic (airbox, snorkel, fan guard).

I need to go work on my car
