'87quest Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 While waiting for the machine shop to bore and deck my block I've been keeping busy by powder coating my parts. I've never done any powder coating before so it's been a learning experience but thing are turning out pretty nice! Here's a few pics for you guys http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/8EBCF146-ACA5-46A2-86DB-4E8376492E29_zpsiyn9hbx0.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/5BA16EE7-F178-4058-A15D-E236338D6589_zpsbtx8spsw.jpg And here's my valve cover powdercoated red and chrome. Each color done separately to avoid mixing.. So much time and effort in this but it turned out nice! http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/7C95DEF2-D4BB-4E3E-A5C4-DEA2D996174B_zpsvrnvsqn1.jpg Masked off the stripes and baked on the chrome http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/9078D68C-8BCD-4F49-90D9-D5A4C34A6FCA_zpsj4vu6yud.jpg And after the red stripes http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/4E959114-5FC2-4FB0-BF9D-484CF3B21C19_zpskbu8psgm.jpg And here's all the other parts http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/2768AE90-5651-4EC0-A3DC-59ECD6151E34_zps6pg8ltue.jpg Thanks for looking!

'87quest Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Also before I started the rebuild I also swapped out my maroon interior for black leather. http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/27DC2889-A46E-4FB6-A6D2-5D769646BE1C_zps2shitdpc.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/0B8B58B1-27C5-482D-8BF0-B9825A61DDD1_zpsoywb3i9b.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/E2225971-3C9E-46DA-8D1E-B30C71811DE0_zps8rhmtgqz.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/2D815AA6-B26E-4581-85EA-AFCBCD614C26_zpsfgmbngan.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/14CB5D6C-3061-4F52-9D18-A7E7B19E274D_zpsbp2723gp.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/DCC8952D-AAFF-426F-9AC1-38163616C797_zpspwximejf.jpg Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Also Earlier this year I bought a black roller 87 with SHP rims and good tires for $400, I was stoked! The car is too far rusted out to save, but i needed a parts car anyways and wanted the extra set of rims. My daily/farm truck love the tacoma almost as much as the questhttp://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/8D9F50E7-5A74-47BA-BFC9-C3CFD2CCFC1A_zpsxxo1stxa.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/363AA7AE-6629-4922-B698-10421726D2B0_zps9v7rgacf.jpg I took the mirrors and grille off this car and put it on my good car and I REALLY like the black accents with my black center/polished lip rims on the silver car. When I get around to it i will do the same to the SHPS but powder coat them instead of paint. Edited April 7, 2015 by '87quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
