Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
haha yea when i start working more this summer. still have a while to go with it, and have to buy some parts for the swap first. im getting fuel rails too because there's no sense polishing that thing for 40+ hours to put the ugly stock rails back on lol
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
thanks man! im only at 220 grit right now and didn't finish the whole thing with it yet.
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
lookin good so far, that alternator looks like it needs a polishing too haha
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
yea it does, that's coming next probably just a quickie though lol its only an alternator my luck it'll go bad once i polish it.
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
haha yea, doesnt even need to be buffed that much, just enough to were it doesnt look like it wasnt rolling around in dirt for 5 years, i wouldnt polish my own alternator, id def fyck it up
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
if i got this far on the Gen 5 alternator is cake lol
Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Gen 5 updates and more!"
How difficult is it to get the wipers off, what tool did you have to use? I have the deflector and have never installed it. Went to do it one night got part of the panel off and it started raining.
Re: 97 GTP Coupe White on White
good luck with that Auto Zone Coolant Elbow they suck. Mine started leaking 4 months after i put it in.
