can you get spools for them? might be a cheap option for now...
went to the wreckers friday and got some brakes for when my diff is ready and also bought some new rotors cleaned everything up should look sweet
match up nicely with the front brakes (hoppers) once i get them
other than that its just a slow waiting game..

Well guys decided just to wait now till i have my 9inch together and ready to go in... so the UC is off the road for a while (month hopefully no longer) in the mean while im going to do a few of those little things i have wanted to do but havent had a chance to do...
i have taken the tail lights off and have tinted them before i put them back on im going to re paint the black out on the back once its done i'll get some pictures.. going to redo the blackouts around the windows also and a whole heap of other things...
keep watching for updates & pictures

Haven't you always wanted to cut on the odd rust bubbles... and then a new lick of paint would look good too... Maybe detail the engine bay like you always wanted to... Oh, then if you did all that... You'd have to get the whole interior re-trimmed, so it was worthy of the rest of the car... Its a vicious cycle!
Man i hope you manage to resist and just quickly do everything! LOL!!!!
