Thanks

Can see the light at the end of the tunnel now

Rear brakes/pipes/hubs fitted:





Had the centre box removed from the exhaust:



Also got my m8 to modify my exhaust mounts,because the stupid little tags that you bend over broke ,welded stainless bolts on,then use a nylock nut and washer
Much better:



Exhaust back on car:



Heat wrapped the downpipe while exhaust was off:



Tryed a wheel to make sure it would clear AP's,good job it did



Had a tidy up of all the nuts/bolts I've replaced
Mostly replaced with stainless steel,or orig spec from Ford:

Its the 300mm conversion using 4X4 calipers that Paul@North Yorks RS Spares sells on here
