That's probably what they will end up as Gene.

I tossed around the idea of body color.

I have been undecided as to fit these onto the car.

 

I deliberately haven't fitted the door tops or rubbers just in case i found a set ...... & i did. ( Damn you Datto! )

Christ these things are dear these days! 

 

Purple is currently at the brake shop. When it comes home i should have a fully functioning brake system.

Very nice, Purple will look the goods with it's new bling.

 

Hows the shed going, is it finished yet.

 

Is the car ready to pick up or are they still doing the brakes.

Shed will be finished tomorrow. They just need to fit the corner flashing & it's done. :)

 

Purple is still in the brake shop. I hope it will be finished soon. Apparently they had to reco all 4 calipers. KACHING!!!!!

I'm dreading the bill.

Well this just goes from bad to worse!

 

Reco 4 calipers ( funny, i put new seal kits thru them 12mths ago), supply & fit 2 x front brake hoses, re plumb the bundy tube from front to back. $1700

 

Modify handbrake cables, connect, get handbrake working. $685.

 

But ..... handbrake cables are routed incorrectly. Handbrake does NOT work! Pics to follow.

Might go against your 'temporary insanity' defence if you've already got legal advice before you pay them a visit mate.
