Double post... Don't mind me...

Hmmm. Did someone take to the upper trims with some dye, or are they proper OE black upper trims? I was under the impression that we only got the light grey uppers locally?

Nice score, and even better to have the better half take it on as "her project"! Thats awesome!

I dunno about the not happening quickly part, it looks like you're in pretty deep already. 3 wrecker runs for parts, and a complete interior cleanout already...
Alpine stezza is a nice acquisition as well. No real need to upgrade that I'd imagine.

Thats an awesome little upgrade you have planned there Tim!
All in all, with a hub ring to centre the disc and if you use your caliper adaptor to correct the 1.2mm height difference, you're laughing.

Might even do something silly and use this upgrade on the track car and sell off the brembos. Keep me posted dude!

Hahahahaha, oh I accepted it a long time ago lol... It doesn't change the burn though 🤣

Ooohh. Very nice to see the work progress man!

Shame about the clutch slave, but sorta expected after 8 years of no movement perished rubber seals. At least you found it before everything was installed and back in the way again.

I've found that a gas torch on full boar (one of the hand held ones, not an oxy) with a 150mm flame is great for removing webs that are a pain to remove otherwise. Quick flick around the engine bay and wheel wells removed 95% of my spider issues in a space of about 5 minutes, maybe less. Flicking it around doesnt give enough time to heat anything else up, and just burns off the webs nicely. Mice and rat deposits are a little harder to move. Been told that leaving the car uncovered and bonnet open is enough to stop them nesting in the engine bay, as they don't like the cold or wind, which an open bay dissuades them enough apparently. Food for thought.
