Johnny-C Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 update 3/8/11well after recently doing some work on andy87's car,it gave me some motivation to start sorting this thing out.i started with the brakes,removed the old ones,and noticed quite a bit of surface rust on the hubs and arms.due to the amount of salt of the roads from 2 winters ago im guessing,as the rest of the car is perfect.have a few scuffs on the inner arms from running big wheels a few years ago,so will tidy that up too.so im going to remove all,strip them back,prim and paint them,and refit.going to completlry polybush the arms while im at it.so i test fitted the custom brake set up ive going on the car.first off i compared the old disc size to the new.them mounted the disc and caliper,and trial fitted a wheel to make sure it clears the caliper ok.all good.once i have the suspension side of things sorted and all the bits painted,ill roll the car into the garage and get cracking on at getting it running again.will post some updates as i go.
