Default complete brake overhaul w/ uprated cossie discs *upd8*

Tony came round and helped me change my rear shoes, rear cylinders, front discs to cossie uprated drilled/grooved, 4x4 calipers with new pads and rebled the whole system with new brake fluid.

WHAT A STAR!!!! Cheers mate!

Took car out for a spin, man, the brakes are well crap, gonna need to run the lot in for a bit!!
