culshaw 1 Posted November 18, 2009 Brief history: Got my first in moonlight blue back in july/august can't remember now but after some cash strapped times i'm back on the build again, I let the MOT run out after an expensive looking fix list and have left it on my drive till i've been able to gather the part. Made myself a build list i hope to get before the summer, let me know if it's over optimistic!

culshaw 1 Posted December 10, 2009 was hoping to get the rear brake assembly off but having a fight with the brake line and the brake line nut, is this a 10.5 as 11 gets a grip but spins under a fair bit of pressure! :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
culshaw 1 Posted December 28, 2009 got all the rears done and am just awaiting a brake line for the drivers side and my brakes will be done :D theres about 4 cm clearance between my calipers and the wheel lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted December 28, 2009 the age old caliper seize scenario eh, had to get rescued due to that myself, good to see someone else putting their folding ladder to good use; mines used as a bench with some plywood worktop :D liking the manifold too, looks a lot like one i had :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

culshaw 1 Posted January 18, 2010 brakes bled and clutch pedal is no longer stuck to the floor!! handbrake wasn't working before and turns out (as i thought) that it was because the fluid reservoirs were empty, so thats another problem checked off me list :D:D:D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
