Looks great. What did you use to polish it? Would like to do the same on my car. Thanks

Nice Job looks great.
You should have painted the power steering pump black (to cover up the ugly yellow platic) while you had it off.

Ernan:
There's still a LOT of shine left to go on that piece. It looks good, but you need to hit it hard with a good wheel full of tripoli. Keep going

The best way to "pilich" alternator is to remove it from the case, and do the case (you dont want metal shavings all over that thing) .

You can see if you can find an old one, polish that case, then change. Theyre hard to find b/c junkyards sell them to companies for refurbishing. OR
You can just buy a chromer with more amps. OR you can paint it.

GOOD LUCK BRO!!

I know that I have to remove stuff from inside , I was thinkin those little area on front (I will post pics of that problem area)
Well I was thinkin buy one from PA with more amps and chromed or go on junk yard and get one from low miles 95 V6 because they are same and get one power steering pump from same car too because mine making noise and I need polished them too

lookin good

EpiKk3 · Nov 24, 2004

probably one of those standard posts that everyone hates seeing, and honestly im too lazy to search but whoever links me to / posts, a full polishing tutorial gets a fat cookie

94TURBO5 O · Nov 24, 2004

Hey man looks good You need to use more tripoli and white rouge to get it to come out more. It should look like a mirror when you're done. Buy a chrome alternator it will look a lot better than a polished one.

If anyone has the patience or time how is the polishing process done. I would like to give it a shot but i want to know exactly how it's done before i f**k something up. Thanks fellas. That looks good good man, not bad at all for buzzin pretty hard.

I'm sending my brackets out to powder coat. Just don't have the patience for polishing anymore.

Give us an update Joe.

I think a "nice" looking setup would be to have some colored powder coated stuff with a few things on the top polished or chromed, like maybe the intake, alt, and the pulleys...that would be pretty nice without going overboard or worrying about touching it up all the time.
