brakes arrived yesterday from crn products grooved diskd with red stuff pads. from what i can see theyre just normal disks that theyve had machined but at the price i paid its perfect as the pads alone would normally be Ł120/130 
and just a quick insite into something im doing . . . more pics when the cam cover comes back from machining!

prepped and painted cam cover (again) just need to flat paint of high spots and polish then laquer. you get the idea with the coils and you can see where theyve been machined down, i think the coils look pretty factory, a good fit!!

the magic word!!
not sure weather to put a 3.9 in it??
and because in using a 2wd manifold now the actuator bracket that was welded on wasnt needed cos il just use a bolt on one and they look ugly with two!! (took me fuck*n ages to even cut this off with air saw!!)
start
all ground up
and polished. not the best but will do for now til new turbo
