Got the rear brakes on today,plus I also fitted the prop shaft.
Just need to cut the rear braided lines to length and fit the stainless ends.






Wasn't in the mood to do much else as I have a belting tooth ache

having looked at the suspension pic Ryan you can actually see the curved brake vane orientated correctly..............

for future ref. as you look at the top half of the disc the internal vane (if ideed its curved) should curl over towards the rear of the car...........

LOL Don't tempt me Ian

Popped in this morning for an hour to run the polisher over the inner wings before the engine go's back in as it will be very hard to do so when it's fitted plus I fitted the brake master cylinder along with the 2 front braided hoses as the drivers one is p-clipped on the chassis and would be damn near impossible to get once the engine is in.
Also got the wiring for the box sorted and plugged in,removed the lambda as I'm going wideband and the standard wiring is now redundant.

Shopping with the missis this afternoon so that stopped play,engine should be going in tomorrow!

Good work again Ryan, how do you manage to get that holographic image of the warthog into most of your pics of your paintwork?

It's just the shear quality of the paint job enabling it to reflect so well

and that's MR WARTHOG to you
