Bought some old metro turbo 4 pots on ebay. They needed a full refurb so i blasted them down in work. I left the old pistons in while i blasted them down so i didnt get any grit internally and also masked up the bleed nipples and basically every open hole on them

I made the pistons for the calipers in work out of stainless steel and painted them in red

Hey guys seems that i have run out of space so gonna have to resort to photo bucket, Thanks to all that replied :) Hope this works

[Italianjoblofty]

As you can see the back end was in a pretty bad way

[Italianjoblofty]

Here are some pics of the boot lip

[Italianjoblofty]

Had to cut away the rust from the driver side rear light and make up a new section.

[Italianjoblofty]

I Then started on the underneather of the boot and made up another section as i didnt want to replace the whole floor as it was only the lip that had rusted

[Italianjoblofty]

[Italianjoblofty]

I then replaced the front top rail but seems to of either forgot to take phots of the rusty old 1 or cant find them, will post them if i find them

[Italianjoblofty]

As you can see, i have removed the lower rail completly. This is because i will be welding an extra dash bar onto the roll cage which will be much stronger and safer. I will also be making up a little attachment so that the steering column will link to it.
