          pretty much...




          pulled the lips off and the 'gaffer' gave them a once over






          I prepped and ceramic polished the centres




          split and stripped the og valves,fully polished them then got the individual bits cu/ni/cr plated


          and built

                started removing any machine marks and polishing the lips up












                trialled them over some newly sourced 6" barrels which had had the machine marks roughly removed and semi-polished

                  just got to do the last three inners then start on the outer 'visible' parts while I wait on my nuts arriving so I can start building them,should hopefully be finished the inner and outer sides off the barrels/lips for the end of next week work dependant

                    That is awesome, you realiase that you won't see that hard work haha. Top effort, gets me motivated to head out and tidy up mine.

                        mines is a 16v as well hahaha....genetically modified brothers lol.

                        Yeah I know people wont see most of it but most folk wont notice most of the other details once theyre built either.I've built a few fully polished and/or chromed sets now but putting the extra mile into these because theyre mine. Thanks for all the good comments

                          I hope you know it, but you are insane!
                          that's an incredible amount of polishing!

                          please tell me you have a machine buffer! :O
