              • Haven't done much on the old thing lately, got a spare wiper motor and some 2.5tdi calipers and carriers to upgrade to vented disc's. Cleaned up with a wire wheel. The pistons went back nicely, bleed nipples and pipes all undone. Painted with some horrible Halfords caliper paint I got in 2017, wish i'd got black. Click image for larger version

                      Its not a new one Arf its the reg of the scrap one I've been harvesting for the past 9 months in the local scrappy. Kept the plate as the factors can bring up its details when quoted. Toying with having the seats and back bumper as i'm £120 in credit for some wheels we had which wont fit either van or the corrado. And there's still 5 standard wheels there with good tyres they want 20 a wheel for. You gotta love a scrap yard. Perhaps I should make my own.

                        And hopefully by next weekend the brakes to stop it.

                        • Hopefully the red wont show much with the standard "new banded"

                            • Thought they looked better in the natural wired off state, Is there caliper lacquer available? They may have looked better that way.
