    Nothing quite like a bit of confidence this cabby won't be a speed freak but it'll be quick, I hope....

    So I FINALLY got around to finishing my brakes! Painted in "Brembo" Gold and ran a new seal kit through them feeling accomplished and imo they turned out mint .... installing a non abs set up and taking the opportunity to clean and paint the hard lines, should have it all in on Saturday hopefully....




    Also painted these whilst I was at it; it's the same gold, was just overcast at the time so they look dull.... Felt the "brushed aluminium" wrap I put on them looked out of place, so they'll tie in with the engine and brakes now




    And i'm super happy with how the rocker cover has turned out but that will have to wait to be shown! haha

    Oh, also finished the clearing of the lights after a mishap that left me feeling annoyed. On my last attemp at clearing them, my gun spat some chunks of grey primer through the nozzle, source unknown. So I had to wait for them to dry before I could sand it back, which incidentally took off some of the red tint..... was a major FML moment but we're good now..... They just need a sand back and a buff and they'll be golden

    Righto, was a big day today! Planned just to install the fresh calipers but decided to perform the abs delete and whilst I was removing the loom for the abs, I then decided to finish off the battery relocation. Also squeezed in some more lip work at the end. pics! it's a ****ty mix of mobile and dslr pics :/












    Wasn't too sure what the go was with this silicon tubing on the hardlines? But I heat gunned it all off, to paint the lines black..... the scratched up only a little during the install, will redo them perhaps when the conversion takes place...




    ABS/battery delete....... you might also just be able to see in the last pic where I relocated the washer bottle..... Also the power stering reservoir will be dealt with later....








    Until next update

    Also worth a note is that i'm neglecting this engine a little bit in anticipation for the new one; hence the coolant/oil leaks.... *****'s sad
