Okey dokey here's what I've been up to the last few months...
As I've said before I lost interest due to the damage on the front but that has now been sorted
No pics of how it looks now but I'm really happy with it, had the bonnet, tops of the wings and front and rear bumper painted
Before:
And the night I dropped it off, fuel cap removed for paint analysing to get the right colour match
Anyways all done so that's a plus
One of my calipers is complete, it's no surprise they were binding, the amount of crap I scraped out of the dust boot was crazy
New dust and main seals in, used red grease to lube them up
Braided lines attached, kept the original brackets on there and added some fuel pipe and a grommet to stop them rubbing through
Caliper now living on the bench, will strip the sticker off and touch up the paint; it's looking a bit sorry for itself due to my heavy handedness...
I also cleaned up the pad retainer and the pins
And the other caliper awaiting the same treatment
I bought some new caliper to adapter bolts but generic high tensile bolts rather than the proper Seat items, the genuine bolts are £15 EACH!
Also while the car was being sprayed I took the opportunity to get my mate to twindicate my Depos as he owed me a favour, just need to sort the wiring out
And that's pretty much it for now, I'll get the other caliper done soon and hopefully have it all back on this side of Christmas. I've sourced some A and B pillar trims, just on the hunt for some C pillar trims now.
