Little update,

first i cleaned the garage and got the car up on axle stands ready to start



bolted cage in,

the brakes i bought hi spec 4pots on 285 mm discs



then i found that my 13" wheels wouldnt fit over the discs and calipers so i machined 4mm off the caliper mounting block and 2mm off the discs to clear the calipers.



update on few bits in engine bay



after having to drill and ream anti tramp bushes to fit bolts off ebay i got chance to fit sum stuff on back axle.



i bought one of them brandnew looms off rapid looms only after weighting up making my own and time it would take this seam to be the best idea to save time. But i must say what a lovely product he makes spot on.



More presents my recon'd type 9 back from first motion with the E6 BGH gear kit fitted.



packed well




all exciting stuff just got to get enought time in the garage to get some stuff done.

2.5bar full set of 4 cans put 10% 2pac thinners in to make it spray better out of a underseal gun.
