I need to grab a new 2x10 in the correct length and paint it white, otherwise the detailers corner is nearly done.

Is the bottom shelf bowing?

It looks like it in the photo but I think it's just a trick of the light or something. It's super sturdy and is not bowing. There is barely 10 lbs on the shelf, so just a trick of the pic I guess?!

Yeah I think it's just where the light is reflecting lol. Had me fooled for a second!

Wheels are now hung on the garage. I made sure to leave enough spacing for the tires.

Another Sunday, another wash day!

I also installed the matte black exhaust tips this morning. Now I really want to get some exhaust hangers that allow the exhaust to be a bit higher, or tucked into the diffuser a bit tighter.

Left are standard tips, right are matte black ActiveAutowerke tips.

Paint looking good following the wash today.

Also continuing to perfect the detailer's corner in my garage. Need to move the pressure washer and blower aside so I can get my last bucket on the hanger.

If you're into detailing check out shine supply products.

I actually got it locally on Craigslist. It is a metal etched panel actually. About 1/8" thick. I think it is sweet.

I agree!

bngcruiser · 07-13-2021, 12:23 PM

and one with my older TE37's on the Land Cruiser.

bngcruiser · 08-26-2021, 12:09 PM

No more sidemarkers - had a guy hit my front bumper in my work parking lot. Gave me a reason to take care of this mod while his insurance was taking care of it.

Also, gave the wheels a proper clean and swapped to the shorter Project kics studs.

TE the world!!
The bronze looks really good against MGM. Usually I'm not a huge fan of 19" TEs, but I think it really works on your car. Very well done!

bngcruiser · 08-27-2021, 02:54 PM

thanks man - i also was nervous about going with 19's - as they certainly are more of a track focused selection if going with them.

TE the world is right!

bngcruiser · 09-16-2021, 08:36 AM

Another sad morning. Vehicle was hit, while parked, in same spot again.

Beginning to think this just isn’t meant to be. Still don’t have plates (state of Washington fucked up my title) and now second time in 2 months, same accident has happened.

bngcruiser · 09-16-2021, 08:39 AM

Sad

hson10 · 09-16-2021, 01:12 PM

Oh no... this is heartbreaking. On the bright side, looks like it narrowly missed the TE and the headlights, so the expensive pieces are hopefully still okay..?

Ugh, this is my biggest fear!

I hope it will be looking like new in no time.
