Finished replacing valve gasket, took about 6 hours. Not looking forward to do it again but will have to do left side. Pretty tedious. Can see cracks in the corners of the gasket, was going to do a little DIY guide, perhaps another time. Don't think I showed but also stitched leather steering wheel I ordered from Asia. Stitching took about 2 hours.
I realized after the sun went down that Messenger doesnt save my photos.... So Im stuck with these potato images... Anyways, here is the low resolution result of todays work. Decided to give dip a try, going to try several colours throughout the year to see what like most before I get the wheels refinished.
Oh, and summers are back on the car!
Again, sorry for the photo quality... But its better than not posting pics at all.
Pic before the suspension settled and that wheel gap went back to its normal 1 cm self.
Kind of difficult to show the real colour, but if I had to give it a name it would be hyper pearl graphite? lol. Pearlescent gunmetal with MAD SPARKLE! Ill be sure to take some proper photos once she is washed.
Wheels are very, very nice, hexotic. Love the design and the finish. Matches your car well, or so I assume given that you haven't washed it in 3 years.

They make your brakes look really small.
Washed it on Thursday then it snowed like 15 cm, now its warm again.... Going for another wash today. And yeah, I know, the brakes look tiny, Akebonos should be ready in about a month. Almost done gathering parts.
Including "before" and "after" pics (after with window tints and my new rims)
I'd like to see better angles. I'm not bashing, but I'm personally not feeling the wheel choice but especially the partially tinted windows. Is that due to certain tint regulations in your state? I love Malbec Black, so I'd really like to see if that makes a difference in my opinion on the wheels
