Looks awesome! I wish more people would take the time and fix their cars like this. It will help the resale so much! Last year I bought a near mint 91 BMW E30 318is with perfect paint for $1500 put $500 worth of new parts in it, everywhere from replacing all the bushings, inner and outer tie rods, ball joints, every gasket on the engine, and hand cleaned every part to where the engine bay looked new, and detailed the rest of the car and I sold it for $4000 on the noise. And now I miss it lol

I thought I was crazy for enjoying this type of detail work. Like u said this shows the level of care for your car. Every car I have ever owned has a engine bay u could eat off of. And when it comes for sale. People always point out how clean the engine bay looks. I love how u did not just spray cleaner let it and power wash. That for me is a BIG NO NO. On new cars its of SOMETIMES. By hand with part removal like u showed is the proper way in my book. The car looks amazing . I cant wait to see more. I hope to find my project 93-94 Subaru legacy ss turbo car soon. still on the hunt for a clean 1. wish me luck

So does powder coating warp your valve covers or not? People say the heat warps them but those were posts from years ago. People's thoughts? I hate painting mine, it always chips within a year and doesn't pop as much. Plus I think grime sticks to it over time when the paint is hot while the car is running.
@TomsTurboGarage
@TomsTurboGarage 10 жыл бұрын
I would trust that a skilled powdercoater knows how to do it right. The quality of the work varies greatly depending on the skill of the coater, from what I've seen. For example, Justin (at detective coating) has coated hundreds of valve covers on both street and race cars. His work was on display at the shootout and I didn't see any leaks.

be very careful when cleaning the brake fluid cap. Make sure its completely clean and dry before you re install it. If theres water on the cap the hygroscopic brake fluid will absorb it and could ruin your whole system. Also be sure to not have the cap off for too long or it will absorb out of the air/ get contaminated

Great to hear! Pressure washing is fast and works fine when done properly, but it does typically blow off the cool factory under hood stickers and can cause other problems. I like this approach as it's gentle on the setup and allows you to inspect things too. Have fun with your awesome import! :-D

Buffing bolts is great, but you can remove the zinc plating allowing the part to rust much easier. Bolts that have been under a wire wheel either need to be painted or re-zinc plated in order to maintain their shine.

Absolutely true and that's one of those things I wish I would've mentioned in the video. I only wire wheeled the battery hold downs due to the rust. For the zinc coated hardware, I usually just clean those.

Thank you sir! Stay tuned for more on that real soon. :-D I will definitely not be building a monster like the Talon though - this thing drives like a dream and I won't be compromising that with cams that chop up the idle, loud, droning exhausts, etc.

You said it man! I couldn't agree more. I've busted my tail restoring those junk plastic lenses and they always get hazy again. I've done it all, wet sanding, etc,etc and they look great for awhile...but then back to bleh.

I started cleaning the hood with dishwashing fluid. I couldn't get baked in oil and dirt. How do I go about that? Is the dishwashing fluid not capable enough?

Hi Gino, yeah probably not strong enough. I use a citrus based degreaser (test it out to make sure it doesn't damage the paint, etc) and then a cleaner wax.

Tom's Turbo Garage I tried GooGone which is citrus based. That helped a bit but some stains are fully baked in.

Thank you Izzy! There are different tactics for rust repair that depend on the severity and location of the rust. Google searches will give you great examples and instruction on how to repair. It ranges from a simple anti-rust coating to cutting out and welding in new metal.
