My DIY shop guy would ask, "would you like to use bead or crushed glass?". 

 

I would respond, "what is the difference?".

 

And he'd say, "crushed glass is used to quickly remove paint and etches more. Glass bead leaves a smoother surface and is used especially for aluminum".

 

I use glass bead on my bare intake parts and crushed glass on parts that have been painted.  After the crushed glass treatment I use glass bead to smooth out the surface. 

 

 

Haha sorry I didn't specify.  It is the glass bead.  Very effective getting the grime off these parts without being too abrasive.

Looks great. There was a Riviera touring at Vintage. As well as Jim Gerock's impeccable Riviera ti (which I  didn't take a pic of).

 

Interesting wheels also!

Yep, enjoyed both of them thoroughly at the vintage.  It's wild how he has what looks like a multi piece version of mine.  I love the style of them, just need a larger diameter for the bump steer correctors.  Too much effort to build these into 15's though..

Rewired my Euro turn signals with U.S. bulbs and sockets. Works great, Running lights run and turn signals turn.

The car color, the grill looks very nice, what took you so long to make the Euro signals work again?!

I currently have euro turn signals, but one is cracked.  Is there a place where they are being manufactured?  Cost?

Thanks,  I've only owned the car for 24 days. ? Thought I was doing pretty good, had valves adjusted,

Webers rebuilt and tuned, new plugs,plug wires,cap and rotor.

And I was out of town nine of those days. I had to drink beer and gather data at "The Vintage".

Getting the Webers right took a lot of time, their pretty good but still not perfect.

Their expensive I would look fo a used one and just replace the one.  Look in the parts classified or eBay.

New they can be $500. a pair.

Rogerstii has them for a small fortune each $350.00 ! I have decided I will cure the rust on the drivers side door on mine, and stop. I wanted to purchase a set of Recaro’s but at $2000.00 plus the adapters I have decided not to do that. As am wanting to get into a 996.

24 days? Is this the same car known as The Colorado Rocket?

Hmmm. W & N have them for Euro 200 ($225) each and even with their shipping you have a large saving on rogerstii.
