My first up date is the breaks i have got hold of a 280mm wilwood set up. I bought these fairly cheap. I have test fitted them, striped and cleaned them then painted and used all new nipples and braided flexi brake hoses. I went to fit these one night after work and one of the 8 nipples has pulled out :( so i am in the process of waiting for a m10x1 tap to try and make a new thread. but here are a few pics from thr last 3 weeks

With the weather beeing bad not realy had chance to do much so i bought another dride seat and made a frame for that changed the gear knob, i also made a rear strut brace in my lunch breaks one week. last as the weather was good to day i gave her a good wash polish and wax even though it lives in the workshop any way ;)
