Well thanks to everyone for your kid words. Its taken so me hard work and alot of time to get it to this point and even more to come to finish it but its all worth it when you hear peoples comments on you work so thanks again to you all and hope you enjoy as ill be starting the work this week

So for another update, my last drive of the car before i took it off the road i was on some great Yorkshire country roads but at times when pushing off a bit i was experiencing so brake fade. Now knowing i have the new engine to go in and more power i knew it would only get worse and so time to look into brake conversions.

So i wanted to try something different to the norm, i have seen this idea on a Escort Cosworth once before and offered by Martin Rayland for 2WD Saphs.

So the idea is to use Porsche Cayenne Brembo front calipers, these will be mounted on some custom made brackets from Martin Rayland along with custom bells and AP Rotors. The front brakes will be 362mm when finished along with the 6 pot calipers.

So i bought these...... They are huge!

Ive also decided to go for rear Brakes from Rayland too so the Reyland Sport Rear 325mm Disc Kit will be bought at the same time,
