hi guys just picked up afew more shiney bits,had a few set backs of the last few weeks but working through them or should i say saving up for them.bought brand new brake master,clutch master cylinder,and booster,stripped them and sent them off for polishing and chroming,well when i got them back i forgot how i pulled the booster apart and not to sure how to put it back together so i gave it to a brake repairer to assemble but they also did'nt know where a small piece went anyhow hopefully they'll sort it,and as for the master cylinders they had a coating on the outside and they dipped them in some sort of acid which in turn ate into the bores which then needed to be sleeved costing more $$$$,I queried if the process would affect them in any way when I took them in to be done and was told no, so they have said they'll look after me,and then when i went to pick up some other stuff they misunderstood what i wanted done and galvernised them instead they have redone them and all bits are ready to be picked up just have to pay for them,so thats put me back a bit its an excuse I'm sticking too anyway ,on a good note bumpers,side mouldings,all under car are done,exhaust manifold is away being HPC,fuel tank is getting a new pump fitted and painted up,will try and get into it over the christmas break then need to get front struts looked at next Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
