valy Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 back to the actual build now and I have decided to take step 1 out of 2 and remove the rocket bunny ducktail from the old boot,reinforce where required and reattach to the car. for step two I need to decide if blending in is what I want or just a boot and ducktail respray.... anyway here are the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Did you like the Albinuta box? I have 15 pallets left, not going to bin them, they'll be put to good use! Don't forget to do the bedding procedure and let us have some feedback once you've done 500-1000 miles on these brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 18 pallets of custom 3 sizes boxes left in a different storage unit, along with many packing materials, so we're using these until they're finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the plan,I am attending Gravity on 15th of July and JPS in August,both indoor show and shine with tickets booked. Always tricky to sell cars like this anyway,unless the right buyer comes along,so don't think it will be a quick sale ,just put it out there testing the waters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
