PEDAL BICYCLE FTW

That LG4 looks very tired. Matter of fact, I think it got tired after 500 miles after it was placed in there in 1984 :-)

powdercoating... talk to paul hardcorez28

Lose the cheesy ass stickers, and strip the paint off those poor rims, and youll be good to go!

Oh boy...you painted the calipers red!! Did anyone help you?

wow u need to clean ur car before doing anything else, the headers make everything else look dirtyyy

why in gods name did u paint those beautiful wheels??????????

u will hardly see the calipers through those wheels

tacky place for stickers

other then that looks good :wink:

I feel bad for those rims... :lol:

whos rims are bad, my friends gold rims...they look so nice in person

I meant wayfast's blue rims... didnt click the link to your friend's

Sell the 84. Work a few years before you get your license. Take the money off the car sale, plus what you worked for, and buy a 4th gen. They'll be nice and cheap by that time, still run, and only need a rebuilt and polish. :nod:

If you want the experience of working on cars, make your friends by the parts and help them bolt the stuff on their own cars. :)

How do you guys want me to take the paint off? just the lip? or the whole wheel? How do I get it off with out striping the gold off?

take it off the lips, use paint stripper then u can polish the lips, hell u might be able to just sand the lips to polish them. also, take an old rag, cover the carb and dizzy(with a plastic bag), hose down the motor bay, take the rag and dunk it in some carwash soap, was down all the paint in the motor bay, rinse it, let it dry. the engine bay will look so much better

how do I polish the lips. what grit sand paper what else should I use? dont give me links to the thirdgen crap that stuffs mad confusing cause im a dumb ass

start w/ 250 or 400 grit, then move to 600, then 600 wet, then to like 1000 wet then to like 2000 wet, then use steel wool, and then use polish

if your gonna lose the ac... lose it all IMO and get a delete box make the bay look cleaner

and dont overestimate the brake caliper paint mod... its put like 100 hp into my lo3 LOL

So what do gloss black calipers get me?

red FTW!

btw, you can make your wheels look better by buying my stock gold iroc rims..88-90 dual stripe, with tires! :-D

~Ted

No.
