12-12-08, 12:47 GMT+10#86 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
