Re: a bit of this and a bit of that

we've been a bit quiet as we're doing one of those 'family and friends' jobs. this one's just inner and outer sills on a 2000/1 fiesta (for a mate at rally design) so not photo worthy.
normal programming will be resumed later this week, lol.

Re: '58 (nash) rambler american family project

when i get back to my nash i'm going to upgrade the speedway front brakes. i've just bought a pair of the imprezza wrx sti 4 pot calipers, same as the ones i used on the wolseley front axle seen here a while ago. those calipers along with a bigger pair of discs will be just fine.

back onto the monza axle today, we cut all of the factory 5 link brackets off and cleaned up the axle tubes. now it's ready for the caliper, 'new' 5 link and coilover brackets. :thumbright:
