Well update time been a while

First of all ordered wheels, rear shoes, brake cylinders, fitting kit and new calipers with spacer kit so can run vented discs

Used my old tyres so got them swapped over this morning





Then went home and started on brakes beginning with the rears

Started with


And then fitted all the parts





After both sides were done moved o to the fronts

I split calipers last night and put spacers in

[200jimcone]

This is what I started with upfront. Seized calipers and solid discs



Stripped them off



And rebuild with the spaced calipers and vented drilled and grooved discs and ferodo pads



And finally fitted wheels and rolled it out side



Bit high still with no engine but you get the idea



Also now have pointless ingnition, fr32 cam kit , adjustable cam pulley, clutch kit, rs2000 engine mounts and head painted ready to finish engine off



Hope you like

Cheers jim
