Well I'm back from Afghanistan! I got back about 2 weeks ago and my wife forbid me from touching anything car related for one week! So I've had a week to work on a few things and here's what I've got done so far. I cleaned up most of the parts I want to polish and I started on the UIM. All of these parts were hella dirty.

The UIM is just 80 grit right now. I still have a few trouble spots I need to get to and I'll start moving up in grits. Here's the LIM all cleaned up and ready to start the 80 grit also.

Also cleaning up and taking apart my TB so I can polish that too. All of the small parts are going to be either a gloss or satin black, I haven't decided yet.

I'm waiting on my order from jegs for all my AN fittings and SB line. All the fittings are going to be black. I bought a set of Garfinkle's AN adapters so I can continue to use the stock rails. I'm going to be running 550/1300. My mom picked up this polished Aeromotive fpr for me for my birthday while I was deployed a few months back.

I also picked up Garfinkle's coil relocation bracket that I'll install after I redo my engine bay. I'm trying to get all my parts cleaned up/polished/painted before I go on leave so I can get my engine back together so all I have to do when I get back from leave is redo my engine bay and slap my engine back in.
I make it sound all so easy. Still have a lot of stuff to do if I want to get her back up and running by September!
