Started cleaning up the 256mm rears ready for painting



to



carriers sparyed with galv ready for painting




I bought a oval tailpipe as I cant hack having the massive subaru tailpipe. Will cut it off and weld the oval on once I start on the back box.



Ordered 20mm spacers yesterday so that should be enough to get the wheels on over the brembos so hopefully after a year of being on axle stands this wkend it will be back on its wheels!!

Yeah ill do a vid when I start it, im going to be well nervous tho!!

Wheel spacers came today so can finally get the wheels on and see how the brakes will look under them.




With the spacers on they may stick out to far to get in under the arch wont know until I take it off the stands its close tho, I hope they do dont want to have to get new wheels!
