Do you have them saved on your hard drive? If so just make a post and click on the browse button next to the attach file thing at the bottom. Then just look for the pics.

Looks nice, stickers just aren't my thing. I love the steering wheel. Ya the engine enamel works good. It comes out nice and shiny, I was very impressed with it when I used it.

the car has always been garaged and taken good care of, only one owner before I bought it, and he had to sell it cause he had a kid and needed a minivan.......hope I don't ever get there. Anyways, the engine bay was decent looking but needed alot of brightening. On the parts that were brushed aluminum I used a very very fine grit sandpaper, and then went over that with steel wool. After that I used Mothers Aluminum Polish, all this probably took a full day. I still have to get down further and take care of the block and other areas that are in dire need of cleaning. But yea, I was really surprised at what steel wool and Mother's did, shined it up like crazy. I actually haven't polished it yet since I took it out for the spring, it would probably be shining alot more when I go over it again.
