Heyyyy Ivan.

Always great to see your posts.

I noticed we call things by different names, what you call 'fenders' we here in the UK call 'bumpers' but not that it's important.

Who are the two men with the 'goaty' beards as we call them, your brothers, as you look very similar.

Bet you can't wait to turn the key and it starts, lol.

Take care my friend, Mike.

Hi Ivan my friend.

Good to see you posting again and that work on the car is progressing.....it will be almost like brand new when it it finished and it is being built with so much more heart and spirit instead of the robots on the production line, haha!

New Slotted Rear Discs Installed...

Just a thought, on the very last photo, isn't that brake disc facing the wrong way? If that's the near side rear of the car and the direction of rotation is anti-clockwise then the grooves should face the other way round surely.

[Mike169]

Hi my friend Ivan.

I think TomdeGuerre might have a very valid point and looking at the picture he has kindly uploaded when you click on it it does show the disc you have fitted, if it is on the left of the vehicle it appears to be the right hand side one............................well spotted Tom.

Just installed as the manufacturer directs on the instructions that come with it.
