Rear ARB refurbed and ready for fitting :)

Managed to fit one of my wilwoods and 280mm conversion before rain stopped play!

Also, the car now has two new front hubs, new bottom ball joints, new wheel bearings all round :) it's starting to come together!

Cheers bud, pics of the brakes.... it's hard to capture the massive-ness of them, haha! Put it this way, i've had to space my 16x7.5J Borbet's to clear them...

What wheels are you planning on getting? Considering the wide rear arches :) Or have you always had them like that?

oh and i dont like you hahahahaha

nah I'm just kidding, about time you got on with this and got some work done, you done the ARB and top mounts yet???

ARB and top mounts fitted in the next couple weeks, all coming together with the comps :)

Comps are a great choice.

The styling, the power, the chasis tuning, the brakes and now the wheels will all make for a very nice package.

Well done and i can't wait to see the finished article.

Yokohama Parada Spec II's should make for some nice grip in the dry :)

Bought these... but they don't fit over my massive brakes :(

They're O.Z. Vega's, rare as rocking horse shit. They're 30 hole pattern, so BBS dishes fit straight on ;) pretty much like BBS RM's but made by O.Z.

Love love love love this car! :-D
