pics of brakes absolutely love them for the price 285mm with fast road pads etc etc

front end is now nearly complete, gotta respray front end and look into a carbon bonnet maybe fibreglass just to ditch some weight, and then do the rear which wont take long, just removing rear axle for powder coating and then new drums/pads/bearings/underseal spraye new back bumper and finished oh and ditch the saxo spoiler

no updated in a while, since finished the underside at front and fired the engine up for the first time in a year and yes it started first turn of the key bar the battery being flat but that was stored in my house.

i have removed passenger side door handle for a respray and turned the car around ready to jack back end up ready for new drums/pads/bearings/powder-coat rear axle/whiteline arb/and under seal back end............. then just bumpers and a few bits to paint and it should be back on the road.
