So even though this is the best time of year for cruising, ive got the old girl pulled apart again  
 
Decided that 4years with NQR brakes is enough and have finally pulled out the pedal box to replace all the masters with better sized ones and redo all the brake piping a bit neater and more user friendly.
 
replacing the old 0.700 and 0.750 masters with  a pair of 0.625 units and will be doing a bulkhead junction for the brake lines to enter and exit through the firewall.

Master cylinders and firewall fittings and replumb are finally all done. Now just going through the painful task of bleeding he system. With all the ups and downs and the hydro handbrake ive pretty much got to handball it to the brake place for them to pressure bleed it as ive spent the last 3 hours trying and there is still air in it somewhere

Well brakes are finally all bled and sorted, seems the location of the calipers on the diff is less then ideal for the bleeders to work, so they need to be un hinged and rotated to get all the air out of the system. its allways the small things.....
 
But god it feels good to have it stopping like i thought it always should have.
 
anyways i took the chance to drive the car some more and get more practice with my new wizz bang camera
enjoy

Looking good as always.

Looks like you've parked on a speedway track!

Thanks guys,
 
Shaun, i later found out that the cfa use this as their training area, would explain the 4 trucks coming flying down the road with all their sprays and hoses going, i just couldn't seem to find the fire they were putting out.

Patrick, Just using a canon 700D with the kit lense 18-55mm, bit of touching up has been done in lightroom as im still learning home to capture the lights and compose the two different lightings.

Great camera - it should be bullet proof.
Lightroom is my best friend - what version are you running?
 
I hope to see more
