well thought i'd do another update, nothing to exciting but progress never the less

took the rear discs off my rear beam, lots of surface rust but no wear on them, look near new condition, unfortunately have been painted black
so off them came and gave them a going over with the wire brush
you can see the difference in the pic below of before and after

and the other side of the disc's before and after having a rub down with the wire brush




while the calipers were off thought i'd show some better pics of the two pot calipers, undecided about having these dipped in cadium plating like my other calipers as these are in top nick anyways????

thanks again dad,

things to do at the moment are:-
-repaint the bigger escort brake servo
-repaint the uprated rear beam
-and make a start on stripping back the old underseal under the fez
