Have you got your rotors yet? Remember that they will be offset closer to the strut - try putting them on and see how it looks

Sweet bro. So you have this set up in urs right? Would you reconmend getting some vt discs is it?

Looking good, Definitely go with the VT brakes, I have them on mine, can see them in my sleeper build thread some where lol, I bought DBA discs but stock replacment VT will work fine

Awesome man thanks for that ill get some sorted soon and post it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks for above! am trying to get some discs sorted ---------- Post added 22-05-17 at 21:30 ---------- pressures on!!!! been up to more... got the engine into the garage and onto her stand. mocked up the exhaust manifold and inlet manifold. just needed to do something that gave a good feeling of some progress. pulled the gear box and clutch all off to find someone has put a good quality exedy clutch which looks to be in very good nick. heres some quick pics (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/jsobey1/media/20170507_171703.jpg.html) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/jsobey1/media/20170507_171729.jpg.html) (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/jsobey1/media/20170507_171623.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

popped open the rocker cover today to have a look at how much built up oil was inside. .... dam.... (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/jsobey1/media/20170604_133807.jpg.html) rockers, lifters and cam look to be not so great also. im saying this has helped it over the past two years been out side under a cover. and not run for like 5 years. (http://s1099.photobucket.com/user/jsobey1/media/20170604_133807.jpg.html) so scrapped it out and removed the baffle kind of thing and have it soaking in degreaser. see what happens from that. i gave the rockers a quick light spray of degreaser also just to get the process started.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

so im finding that now photobucket is now not loading the pics im really guttered. i have now reduced my use of this fourm and now making a build on facebook please get over to facebook and have a like and follow the build on there. ive tried to start the facebook page from the start to where i am now. cheers Jono ---------- Post added 11-01-18 at 21:53 ---------- the link for facebook https://www.facebook.com/jonosvl/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

they still show if you use a workaround :P

yep and you can use facebook to host images. issue with facebook is it sorts the feed by time it was commented on not by time it was posted so it largely defeats the purpose of a build thread.
