So with the Olympics on and starting work at 7 I'm actually able to get some time on the car..

This evenings task was changing over the front disc brakes. Just need to finish the calipers off and install with ebc red pads..

Pic with the old and new front discs..

did you use por15 for sealing in around the arches?
if so do you just brush it on over the existing sealant or rub down any rusty bits to metal first?

Yeh i was very lucky with this car that all of this including moser billet axles were all sitting in the car just waiting for someone to put it together..

i did find a reciept for the discs for just over £500 and the axles around $700 US including the import tax back in 2007.
