Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

We did not get to painting the engine bay this last weekend, but you will never even notice the yellowing paint once Jesse's new project is done and in there. Here is a little sneak peak of his newest project.

He had to clean up the PFS SMIC air duct by redoing some fiberglass sections and bondoing some imperfections. He spent over 4 hours wet sanding it last night and should be done with it in the next couple of days. This project looks incredible! Will post up some more pics once he has it finished.

It is all done (maybe)

Some stages through the process

After the 7th and final coat of resin

After 4 hours of course sanding

After another 4 hours of wet sanding to make it shiny and pretty. Up against the SMIC.

In place in the engine bay

Jesse is not totally satisfied with the outcome. He may apply more coats of resin and start the sanding process all over again to make the shine a little deeper. Either way, he put a lot of hard work into it and it looks amazing.
