Thanks mate, I feel that I am about to turn the corner with the build.

So here is the new - new sway bar, new calipers, camber shims, new discs, new braided lines, new hubs, new handbrake cables are in the shed, new bushes (and there are some goodies off the beam are not in shot). I might have to insure the rear beam separately to the car if I do anymore to it...

The detailing on this has made me really happy, it has taught me a great deal.

Not that you are going to see them behind the Ronals, but they look sharp.

Gave the diesel fuel tank from Team Green a freshen up for installation. I also yanked the original fuel lines.

Easter is coming and I reckon there will be some bedding in this gear across the break (carefully under the double demerit regime).

Oh yeah that rear setup looks really good, nice work.

good work Mik, rear end looks a treat.

Please get some new bearing caps though

(not that you'll see them, but it'll make me feel better)

Looking good!
Next show you go to you'll have to, prop the rear, take the wheel off and flash the brake set-up

Got some parcels this week so I am back on the Imp.

Just another quiet night in.

I'll fit it up tomorrow and am hoping for an improvement!

Fuel tank back in. Temporary EFI lines hooked up.

So the front brakes are on the market. I bought them when I had the green car never expecting to modify that car as heavily as this one has turned out and I need a smaller diameter disc set up.

$600 if anyone is interested.

Well that was quick. Now I am going to be without any brakes for a few weeks while there is some sourcery and magic. Might drop the engine given I won't be able to move it...
