Yours looks a lot better than mine, I'll be keeping an eye on this!

I can see something hefty going in the back of this one day, a honda or vauxhall. Maybe a rover V8? Looks good though mate. .

Me and pete did the brakes today on the backend.. glad we did too as i took it for a run and ull notice at the end of the vid i say "sumthings not right" that was the brakes.. basically when i used the brakes the pedle pulsed under my foot.. it wasnt until we took the brake drum off the passenger side that we found out why. The shoe linings had come off the metal shoes and stuck themselves to the drum inside... and when the wheel went round and i pressed the brakes.. the linings were going round inside moving over the metal shoes then off the shoes then on the shoes.. and so on... nightmare!! haha

Matts first drive round
