Gorgeous! Seven years... you have more patience than I have, but it certainly was rewarded.

Hydraulic clutch and monster brakes! Very, very nice! Are those custom made rotors? Did you keep the stock lug pattern? I'm impressed and would love to know more about the retrofits. Great work.

Jimb, that's one fabulous car - right hand drive too, when I saw that I thought you were in the UK, then noticed the NSW plate.

Tarox 285mm vented rotors and 6 pot calipers, standard wheel pattern, i've got 15" volumex rims and jasons 5/8" aluminium spacers. In a RHD engine bay the clutch cable goes over the top of the exhaust manifold and round the engine bay, afer a while they get quite stiff pedal action, mine was heavier than my truck! Everyone that drives it, loves it but a few people on the oz forum seemed to take offence!

Nothing wrong with well working improvements. They are probably jealous, fools. :roll:

Great looking car! I hate to tell you this but when you put it all back together you put the steering wheel on the wrong side! :wink:

Nice work on your car, I hope you enjoy it mightily.
