Costs more than $500 to polish your engine bay...

Sorry i should clarify, NOT A FULL ENGINE POLISH! but for a good amount that catches the eye, not at all.

Give Mick a call at Briffa engineering, he should still be in Morley, let him know your budget. The guy always has time to go through with you what would look best for minimal amount of money.

Be quite precise on what parts you want polished eg top of head, he also managed to get a hold of some braided look covers, it is complete rice but it did finish the engine bay off, also prob polish the top of your plenum or produce a plenum cover to make it look more neat, do you have a strut brace? get that repolished as well.

Just be imaginative and think about what the main parts are, you will be surprised what you can get done with him for $500, imagine what you could then get done for $1000! Now i got mine done about 3 years ago, soooo yes there is a thing called inflation and that $500 may now be $600,however you should still be able to get a bit done for around that mark.

See what the cost would be to get some braided look hose covers, head polished, plenum polish or a cover, strut brace polish, also where the bonnet closes he can make a nice little cover as well, goes over the radiator similar to the proffesionally made one by ARC.

Masters maybe right that may go over $500 but you can cut that down or go through what is needed out of that.

This is off SLY which might i add is for sale here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sl...-S-t199601.html (free plug for me :-) )

Now this photo is kinda like a stage 1 polish i guess you could say, intercooler pipes, braided hosing, head polish, strut polishing. Now a LOT more polishing has gone into it since but for her first show she really did look the part. That was from 2003 when Briffa did it, however he is a very good guy and if you only had a budget of $500 I am sure he can try and help you out where ever he can spend time on, whilst you may not get everything i did for that price in 2003 you would get somethuing pretty good!

Also if a big guy wants to take a pic of your car and he has a very expensive camera and introduces himself as TJ, cover your crutch or at least make sure your zip is done up.

In all honesty TJ takes some great pics so try and get some of the girls near your car, some of the mags like it when the girls are near your car, you can pretty much have a POS Herbie the love bug, but whack a few promo girls wearing next to nothing near it, take a pic and *WHAM* next thing you know your car is on the cover of the next auto salon mag :-)

Hahaha!!

Only your crotch
