My front end got a bit or work over the last few days. New rotors and pads, sprayed calipers, rolled my guards a bit and chopped and modded to get my HSV center caps on. Didnt get any pics of doing the brakes Respraying I ground out webbing and raised plastic on the back on my center cap with a very small and very coarse wire wheel on the drill. Made short work on the plastic. With the factory bearing cap taken off they pop on perfectly. It seals fairly well, with the rim face on the rotors and the cap a tight fit. Ill take them off every month or so and just check. Finished product: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Gearbox was ****ed. Returned it to the jap wrecker so now on the hunt for a new one... It had a snapped of clutch pivot ball.. upon removal for replacement, it turned out the thread has been re drilled and tapped for a bigger clutch pivot leaving the stock nissan one too small... didnt want to **** around with it, just asking for troubles. Made a guage facia in my sunnies holder with my spare calais seat material.. to suit 3x 2 1/16 autometer guages coming soon. Traced the shape onto 12mm ply, cut the holes, thin layer of foam then trimmed it tight in material with the staple gun. The holes look rough, but that just how the material sits... once the guages are in itll be smicko If anyone wants one done in blue let me know me and ill knock one up for you....genuine material 100% match Happy snaps: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dropped the MF5 out of the VL last night with help from my new best mate Con who saved my ass with his cordless rattle gun. Well more like i was helping him. Top bloke, his cars just a n.a nugget mobile. Picked up a 83L drop tank and working on a 90L if i can get one. Completed my r33 conversion with all my bits there. Got the fly machined for a 4 pack of JD and coke haha. Goes in tomorrow. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
