looking better and better!

[249 Dave Mc]

Yes Gordo hopefully it will all be finished for January lol, Only the brakes and a couple of other things to do. I got the brake conversion kit from a company called Motorsport.co.uk they seemed to be the cheapest place to get them, A set of Willwood 4 pots so my brake problem should be rectified then away for an M.O.T and ready for on the road.

Eventually after about 4 weeks my brake conversion kit has arrived, The supplier first sent a set that was as much use as a chocolate fireguard,He sent calipers and hoses only but they were no use so I returned them and ordered a set of larger callipers,discs,Fitting kits,hoses & pads. Decided to stop being a miserable Fifer and spend some money.

Looks like the kit I got for the chevette - 256mm discs?
Don't know if I mentioned it before, but Pirelli have re-released the old P7 tyres as used back in the day - some are just the thing to fill in those arches.
