Right well with plenty happening in other parts of my life car has been and will continue to be neglected for a long while after this weekend.
So had a bit of a play today.
Had new caliper brackets made up as decided i wasnt happy with the last ones - and got royally screwed $$ wise on them which was not overly happy about :x Wont be going back there again!
But managed to get one side all fitted up today, and will try and get other one done tomorrow, so i can get some fluid in the system and try and get at least the handbrake working for next week when im gonna trailer the car down to Huntly to have the exhaust manifold done.
Few pics anyway

I think he is refering to the old brackets which only bolted up to the three bolts which normally holds the heat shield.

Well been a long time since an update as study, work and life in general has been pretty busy and is only about to get busier (baby nearly here :beer )
Have been getting a bit done on the car though, its rolling again, brakes are all good, braided lines and EBC yellowstuff pads allround and handbrake works.
Been sorting out braided oil cooler lines and fittings, steering box lines and breather tank.
Interior is nearly all scuffed down and cleaned, and car is booked in for the 8 point cage to be fitted on Monday. Seats and harnesses are going in at the same time. And then interior will be painted as soon as cage is done.
No pics now but will chuck some up soon once cage is underway.

Well car is back and now caged :)
Seat mounts and harness mounts are done as well.
Had to cut out part of the floor on the drivers side, where the factory muffler hump was, to get the seat mounted low enough and far enough in.
Pics :)
