WAI refurb pics

[GT4 20]

Just finished lagging the Water to Air Intercooler for the GT4. Left it soaking in an acid bath for a few days to strip it back to bare metal and clean out the insides. 'Lid' was then cleaned up (removed a few bleamishes etc) before it was given a coat of etch primer. A couple of layers of gloss black closely followed the graphics before the paint fully dried (I designed the graphics myself and simply sent the design to a vinyl cutter. I'm also swapping from a twin to single entry turbo soon). A couple of layers of clear coat were then added to seal in the graphics. Once that had been give a day to dry, I then lagged the lower half with a roll of Thermo-Sheild TapeTM. Job done







While the car is off the road, decided it would be an ideal time to 'bling up' those calipers too...



Once the paint is fully cured, I'll paint the 'Celica' lettering using some white enamel paint. Rears will also get done to match

Originally it was going to be a flywheel & clutch change. As the motor had to come out, decided it was as good a time as any to upgrade the motor too Sorta ballooned from there
