                  Anton, definitely go Oak green. Best color for a Mk2 and I doubt there is an oak green one in NZ??
                  whatcha think?

                      Everything has sort of ground to a halt for the moment thanks to having to wait for parts and **** to arrive!


                      So I have started on the refurb of the Cox Calipers and dropped them to the powdercoaters today...


                      more blue goodness!


                      Ground off the Cox and Nissin Branding from the front too


                      Blowing the pistons out of these proved a little interesting but they are our now and the seals are sitting in a brake fluid filled container!

                        Started re assembling the rear beam axle brakes wheel bearings etc etc etc..

                        Started ok until I realized i cocked the re assembly order up!



                        But easily fixed and fully assembled new grease new discs new bearings blah blah blah


                        Still waiting for parts there for minimal progress and I don't want to fire off and start doing other tasks that will be interrupted when the other parts arrive...
