I got my rotor's back from the brake dudes today and i'm very happy with the work they have done.
They said they used a mercedes  van disc rotor and machined it to suit it's 330mm and look's the good's.

Hi back after the xmas break and i hav'nt done much but i've managed to score a new wolf v500 for 1/2 price off x bay and a omp steering wheel which i think will look nyce on it. Ive finished  wire wheeling the bottom of the floorpan and found a little bit of rust in the r/h lower 1/4. I also scored some new  dunlop racing semi slick tyres and had them fitted to the simmons and i think they look great with some rubber on them. I'm trying to get a near new 5.5 quartermaster or tilton clutch off x bay because they want $1500 for them new here and the old nascar boys get rid of them quite often in the states , i need the 10 spline which is not very common. Ive also scored a set of dual headlights of a update capri for the front as i think they look tough with the 4 lights.

 Another update ,done a bit more today fitted the diff to see the clearance of the simmons and im happy they dont scrap on the guards so i have to just roll the lips over . Went down to the scrap yard and got some steel offcuts and made a panhard rod support and i am happy with the result. Anyway here's some more photo's

Well this week i painted the brake backing plate i made up from the old booster bracket and made a alloy bracket to hold the brake fluid reservoirs.I also dummy fitted the r/h suspension to see if the simmons cleared the guard it did so i only have to roll the lip. While i had the brake set up on i made the brake lines,im sort of happy with them oh well we will see how it looks when the engine gets dropped in.
