Cleaned up & ready for welding. I will weld these to a UC X-member. [orig Opel]

Time to start getting the front end sorted.

Buy all the bits....

Components are now blasted & primed. Trial assembly time.

I'm going against the grain here & opting for the HZ Girlock alloy calipers.
{chime in anytime you want datto, i could use the help}

First up, clean all the old paint from the mounts.

I don't like the look of the factory dodgey casting.

That's better.

A quick coat of primer to make them easier to handle.

More to come. Baby steps.
