my first mk2

[13sport]

Rear end nearly finished today baring brake pipes and handbrake cable, don't see any point fitting handbrake cable until inside is all painted. One tramp bar bolt was being a pig so il wait till I have another pair of hands to tighten it up so I don't chip all the paint off the parts, starting to look good tho. New shoes, cyclinders, rubber boots and linkage pins fitted to linkage rods


I was going to start making brake pipes up and fitting flexi etc but i got sick of banging my head on the u bolts.... Shoukd have really took the sunny off the ramp and done it on there.

Think il drop all the front end stuff, top coat the engine bay, refurb all the front end stuff, struts, TCA's etc next then I can fit the engine and box to free some space up in the unit. Il just have to methodically mask everything off before paint so all my freshly painted parts don't end up covered in overspray
