Sounds like you are having fun with it!

Yeah it's a poor post right now. Sorry. Im out of town on work right now but I'll update when I start with my new phase of work. As for the plane all the pics I have of the car were to large to upload so I had to adjust the setting and just take a pic of somthing haha.

Just an FYI a quick an easy way to resize them is to open the picture in "paint" and resize them that way... Unless you have a mac then I'm lost...

 

[AKbag]

Well I just have my phone and I can't seem to figure out a way others then setting a lower rez.

Or you can go into Microsoft word, insert picture then compress the picture. Then save it again and it will be saved as a smaller size.

Well finally home from work. Took the car out this morning to clean it up and pick up some paint for the valve cover I picked up on here a few weeks ago. Should have pics of that up tonight.

 

[AKbag]

Alright so I had to make a few upgrades to my garage.

 

[AKbag]

I sanded down my new valve cover and cleaned it up for paint.

 

[AKbag]

And here it is installed turned out ok I could have done better but it's not leaking oil anymore so that's good.

 

[AKbag]

And up to real time I have the first motor mount installed.

 

[AKbag]

Ok so poly mounts are done it like it and my mounts had seen better days. I got bored last night and decided to do the new axel seals. But of course I couldn't just do that. My brakes had been painted red some time ago I'm guessing. So I took the brakes off and got all the old paint off

 

[AKbag]

And here's the first one painted.

[AKbag]

Ugh 3 to go

 

[dsmbigkeg]

What fitting are you using on your dremel? I'm gonna be tackling the same task in the very near future.

 

[AKbag]

The large sanding band for taking paint off and the cone shaped stone for removing the thick rust and crap that's in the corners. The first picture is all a result of the cone shaped stone bit.

 

[AKbag]

Ok so I have been hard at work and here's the results!

 

[AKbag]

Just kidding I picked this beauty up from a friend who left the country to travel and need to give the car a home. I'm very happy to have it and will be continuing to post on the build thread the car has on here. http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/my-1g-dsm-story-1990-tsi-awd-clean-street-machine. As for the red car Im sad to say I had to sell it with the addition of the new car. I hope it continues to be brought back to life by its new owner.

 

[Vegas Smith]

Man, that's a makeover^^

hey for the calipers you can take them apart and sit them in a can of carb cleaner overnight, strips them down to bare metal, then rebuild for like $13. Berryman chem dip is what its called I think.
