Hey guys, just figured I would share what I have been up to...
Got a set of 96 LSC headlights from a forum member here for $125 bucks.
The bottom light is virgin, the top lense is finished.
600 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit, then red and finally white turtle wax rubbing compound.

Right
After I refinished the lenses, I put a tiny bit of soap and water inside the housing and rolled a shop paper towel into strips and put them in the housing. Then I kind of shook the housing around allowing the weight of the paper towel to wipe the inside surfaces of the light. It worked awesomely as the inside of the lens and the reflectors were dirty.
I bought the housings to refinish and sell, but they cleaned up so perfectly that I really want to keep them now, but I have not decided. Anyone want to buy some 2 year old mint Halogen housings?
Anyway, here is another item. I needed to make a bracket to hold the top of my alternator, but didn't want the whole arched part anymore so I took an idea from Sapperfire...
Before

After
Also a coolant cap for my new crossover tube.
Anyway, thats a little of what is going on. I am gearing up to do a bunch of stuff to my car in the next few months. Oil pan gasket, adapter gasket, 1 1/4 sway bars, trans mount, 93 driveshaft, 04 Cobra manifolds and new exhaust, Bilstien rear shocks, and Turbo Chuck motor mounts. I had planned on selling the Headlights to buy the steering shaft parts and my exhaust pipes, but we'll just see what happens. ENJOY THE COLORED PIXELS!
