Back on this one after an extended hiatus as I need it finished and sold, and I'm fed up of moving it out of the way!
The engine is ready to go back in The engine bay is ready for the engine to go back in So I put it back in. I think this car deserves one of the last ever genuine air filters As the belt covers and manifold are powdercoated, I did the snub mount as well. Nice and smart Much of the running gear is steel on the PF and so very rusty. This will not do  Stripped the calipers completelyPrinted a bunch of blanking plugs Bits and bobs Pistons - the front ones are fine, the rears are toast Crusty rear hubs  Pushing the ABS sensors out Front hubs prepped as well All ready to go for blasting Blasted and clean and painted Calipers too Sitting in the office to dry for a week

New seals and rear pistons from Bigg Red
Carriers rebuilt with new boots and bolts Rear caliper with a new piston Back together As these are steel calipers I can use stainless bleed screws, and also genuine Brembo cover caps for added longevity Complete with new hose Front caliper Pistons and slider boots back in. I forgot to get a pic of it complete. Rear hubs are looking considerably nicer, and have new bushes fitted Front hubs back on the car

I looked in to fitting D3 calipers to get larger rear brakes without the shenanigans of LWB handbrake cables, but I'm suitably convinced the electric calipers are more trouble than they are worth.
