Drums are much better for being stopped like parking but worse for when moving as I understand it. So rear disks would be better for track use where their benifits are useful for cornering and stuff whearas parking on a steep hill you want drums. Might be wrong but im sure someone will confirm :D

I painted mine white with some paint I had spare and thought it looked ok, better than rusty anyway. Down side is that I didnt clean it up well enought so now the white is starting to show rust stains and the dirt etc shows up easy. Going to redo them matt black this time as the car will be...

Nice work around frank, what thickness is that curl about 3mm steel? Also how difficult is it to get the bolts into chassis with that?

I updated my blog :) but the jist of it is in the photo :)

Had to drill out all four of the bolt at the front sill for the wings, two top bumper mount block on drivers side and another somewhere else I forget which, but I forgot to do one for the accelerator cable as I need to take the brake tank bit off again to get at it. Bonnet wasnt down proper...

Been trying to get the body back together to I can slap filler anywhere its needed the sand it all in one to the right shapes, the it will probably want another dose of filler and finish sanding then I can crack the paint put again. Got a nodspeed sticker with my panhard rod but the sticker is...

Paid £300 for mine but needed both solls doing so that would be £300 ish tp do that plus the front beam welding so if its good to go without work for 700 then that sounds good to me lol Not to mention I got mine with 100000 more miles than that one lol

Always fancied getting a 2.0l blacktop zetec from mondeos in the ka, that would be fun obviosly a lot more work to put in a micra than a ka but would be fun lol then turbo it of course :p

Finished welding gear stick, did some yesterday but when I ground it down it was obvios it was set way too low soo cranked it right up and started again with much better results was obvious on first try cause it actually pooled rather than just sitting on it, so finished that and ground it down...

Basically cut the top half to make it look shoeter but will still move the same angle, extending the bottom bit means that it has more throw for the amount you move it. Got a good bit done so far ill do another update later ;)

Was that for just getting them to swap the windscreen for a good one you had or for them to provide new glass and seal? Just wondering as I have managed to remove and refit windows from mk4 fiesta so id be willing to have a gp if I order a used screen and corsa b seal if that will work ok. But...
