So I figured I'd finish the updates that I started. Got nothing done on the FC yesterday, yesterday was a landi day. Got the bulkhead back in, windshield in, and the harness laid out. It actually looks like a truck again and not the munster mobile tha it's been stuck as for the last 3 weeks
So for anyone that saw the FC on the Epic Road Adventure... they knew she was FILTHY..... I didn't know how filthy untill I started working on the rear. A few years back I bought an S5 rear bumper from Fritz Flynn who claimed it was in perfect condition, when it arrived both of the exhaust cutouts were burned... badly
So I spoke with my body guy and he kinda laughed at the thought of repairing burnt and melted plastic. I thought I'd give it a try. It lasted a year before it fell off. Oh well. On the list was replace the bumper, or go for the carbon Fibre exhaust guards to cover up the nastiness. Chibikougan gave me one HELL of a deal on a set of gaurds so I picked them up.
Here's what I started with..... not bad right?
Yeah well....... look at it from a different angle
I spent quite a long time washing, then compounding, then glazinging and finally waxing the rear bumper. I was pretty surprised to tell the truth, it came right back to life!
But you can see better what I'm talking about regarding the melting. Fritz Flynn.... bad seller!
Then I decided to move onto a few other parts.... namely everthing in the rear of the girl was taken apart and cleaned entirely... check out the film on the tails!
Two decent pics showing just how awefull the buildup was.... nasty
Now that's an ass! Spent quite a long time fiddling with the bumper trying to get it straight.... that's much better than it was. The Carbon Exhaust guards fit great.... next is to poish up the tips again and then we're done on this end.
