Progress I think

[IMG]C:\TEMP\BRAKES1.JPG[/IMG] Well, I haven't dropped off the earth but I've been making progress on the beast from Ebay. The engine is buttoned up. I changed my mind on the rockers. I have a set of Scorpion 1.73's on it but after my son's 1.73's spit up a spring the other day (no harm to the engine other than the spring luckily) I decided to go with a set of 1.65 roller rockers (Lunati) I was approaching coil bind with the others and decided the 2-3 horses I'd lose weren't worth the worry.
Anyway, Here are a few pictures of what I've been doing this last week or two. These are pics of the brakes and subframe before the new ones. These are off a 2001 GT and it looks a lot better I think. Note the extra foliage in the old calipers. I think this one's been sitting for a while. Anyway, enjoy.

Sorry, it won't upload them for some reason.The file size is 400x300 so I don't know what's wrong. I'll try again later.
