Bet u can't wait to slap the pile of parts on and get her tuned.

 

The car is coming together nicely

Would you mind going into more detail on your process for restoring your headlights? What grit sand paper did you use from start to finish? What product did you use to polish them? What did you use to seal them? Was this all done by hand or did you use a DA buffer?

I know there is a thread on here that someone started about refinishing their headlights but I am curious as to your specific process because it looks like they came out great

 

What did you use to reseal the headlights?

 

For sure man!

Thanks, I'm hoping to have it all together by the end of April.

I actually made a post that goes into detail in the thread you're referring to. Here's the link:

I used some rubber glue that I picked up online from a very reputable retrofitting site:

The stuff works great.

 

Should have been more clear, did you use any sort of clear coat after you refinished the lights? If not they will haze in short time if left to the elements.

 

Oh, that kind of resealing haha. No, I didn't spray them with any clear or any type of resealant as I'm planning on picking up some Lamin-X clear vinyl. Or maybe testing out some of that cheap "rvinyl" from ebay just to see how it holds up.

Shot you a PM.

 

Changed my plugs and installed my SpoolinUp COP kit and Hallman MBC today.




Also cleaned my intake filter with the K&N Recharge Kit. It was beyond filthy.



Car will be going up on stands tomorrow. Cleaning up the coils and getting started on removing the intake manifold.

 

Still working on getting the IM off. Only two bolts left - I needed a small wrench and was waiting on my EGR blockoff plate. I'll be pulling it all the way off tomorrow and installing the new ported one.

Also, some goods came today. Orbital trims!
