Default Detail anyone?

well I had some paint touch-up and full detail done to my car so I thought I would share. I think it came out prety damn well. Now if only I could get my engine bay to look as good.....















And What needs to improve:

looks great! I like the turbo center caps. Also, I didn't know B&B made a 3" exhaust, how did you get so lucky?

Looks good. Hopefully my detailing efforts yeild the same results this spring (I picked up a Porter Cable buffer and a whole pile of Menzerna polishing compounds).

Looking good - the engine bay would look incredible if you spend an hour on it with some plastic / rubber dressing...

Nothing like a good Spring detail to get you fired up for Summer.... I haven't driven mine since early December. The midwest sucks - what an awful winter.

Looks fantastic!! I would say it's time for a new expansion tank though. would realy stand out and make it look complete under the hood. I love my nice, new, white tank! I also sprung for a new brake fluid resevoir as they match and make the flow under the hood go a bit easier.

Nothing better than a shiny car. Nice job! Can you tell me if your Weltmeister strut bar rubs anywhere on the engine or hood? Thanks

Just love it when a 951 is fully detailed.

thanks for the kind words guys! Getting into it to go to work is very pleasurable now. The weather in washington isnt so great either so I am leaving all errands for sunny dry days.

I deffinately want to get a new expansion tank but I figure this one will do for a little bit. It may be oxidized but on the inside its squeeky clean. concrete degreaser and a bottle of laquer thinner later she sparkles haha. man that crud is hard to get out!

The weltmeister tower dows not rub anywhere on my set-up. They are very easy to polish also.

Keithr726: I keep forgetting to delete that. The car was sold to me with a 3" B&B exhaust, however I do not believe it is a true B&B. It looks very very simular to one but it looks custom made. No one has been able to clarify which kind it is.
