Thanks,

Should all help to keep the car rust free for a good while !

Just a quick one.

Picked my calipers up from the powder coaters yesterday, very happy with them. I got them put back together today with a couple of rebuild kits I bought. Here they are -



And back together again, painted up the heads of the slider pins too -





Also went down to the garage today and fitted a few more brackets back onto the car, nothing worth taking a picture of though. I've fished out a few more brackets I missed taking down to the coaters last time and I've also removed the Dark Ice rear strut brace so it can be done along with the front brace. Will take these down on Monday.

Probably won't be doing too much over Christmas as funds are needed else where, but we shall see !

Will be a shame to get it dirty after that much work! I could easily go that far with my blue mk1 but fear it would never see the road again as I don't have alot of time these days and every job just takes so long to get going.

She'll certainly be used Mick, don't you worry lol. No point in doing all this work if your not going to enjoy the end result !

Know how you feel, what I thought would be an hour job putting the calipers back together today took four. Had to get creative with removing the excess powder coat from the slider pin holes in the carrier as they wouldn't go in.

I usually try to keep Sundays free to play with the cars but like you say, sometimes you can't always make the time !

Yea my weekends are spent playing catch up on other things which have a higher priority so I am told! As an engineer I have the tools at hand for such jobs, reamers for cleaning the slider pin holes out. The short days and nonexistent light evenings at this time of year stop my progress, wish it was 6 months later!

Nice. They will look very good behind some graphite or black alloys.

Excellent work. That will be a longer survivor for all your efforts.
