Yeah. Alex sent me loads of pictures of my car back on the road. Gutted but pleased at the same time. Wish I had had the time to do it myself but it wasn't to be. I'd have another....... Maybe one day when time and funds allow!

Hey, Shrew!
Sorry about the absence. I forgot the holiday form! I'll try and drop in more often mate.

Nice one Lee,

Is there a chance of getting you back behind the wheel of a 33 or something soon?

Oh I'd love to mate but as we all know these cars need a certain amount of fettling and while the kids are young I just don't have the time tbh.
That's the reason my 33 left me really. Lack of time
Anyhow, never say never eh?

I hear that Lee, but never say never sounds encouraging enough eh!

I have a P4 with your name on it just waiting for an enthused new owner! lol!

Dammit Shrew. Stop it with the temptations.

Tell you what. I'll have that P4 if you cover my divorce costs.

Don't forget I'm from Nottingham Lee,

Divorce can be dirt cheap so long as you genuinely NEVER want to see them again!

Evening peeps

Been doing some bits to the 33 . The rear brake upgrade is done bar hand brake cables . Plus the liquid rubber polyurethane is done too Now on to fitting the Carlos Fandango wheels this has been a bit of a challenge . I've spaced out 36mm from behind the stub axle. But it's still not enough. Needs to be around 42mm as it's touching the front trailing arm. Fitted some wheel spacers to see what it will look like when it clears .
I'm not sure its wide enough tho ??

what are the discs and calipers from ?

The disks are fiat coupe rears and gtv rear calipers. I bought the brackets off Alex poulter . The rear drums are machined down . Plus I got my mate to skim the surface 3 mm too

Very neat installation on the discs mate, think your wheels are a tad wide though

Nice wide arch flares going on?

Cheers kev
Yeah integrale style arches

Chop and reroute the arm that is interfering,

Anything to fit big wide wheels! Lol!

It's all your fault

As already said, nice brake mod, looks very smart.

Cheers Keith

Was a bit of pain to do . But glad it's done now . Now to get the wheels right . Before I can move on to the front suspension over hall .

integrale arches, oh yes
Thought you'd like that found a really well priced set on eBay .

Great work John!

Thanks mufasa
