Re: Tyres
I swapped to uniroyal rain expert great grip in wet and dry but they will wear out quicker than regular tyres.

Hand Brake Not Working On Refurbished Calipers
Bought some refurbished rear calipers but i cant seem to get the hand brake working properly, it does pinch the disc but not much, i have wound the piston all the way in but i cant wind it out as far as 180 degree as it wont fit over the pads.
I hope im being an idiot!
Any Suggestions?

I have had the front end up on axle stands and given the wheels a good shake and turns to see if anything happens, but nothing. Any sugg...

Re: Paint Job?
Did think about arch sections but after the last job, got complete confidence in them, they removed the seal, and cut along way back to get to good all round metal, was amazing what they found last time inside my arches, wood ruler, notebook, newspaper, and other questionable magazines. Hope we don'...

Re: Paint Job?
Was hoping it would be a bit less, had the rear arches cut, welded and painted including the boot and blended into the doors for
£800 on my last one in the same colour, suppose i better get my ar$e in gear and get some quotes.
Goodbye Savings!
