I like this a lot but IMO the brakes are abit of an overkill

[cben123]

iam going to use the car for gymcanha / auto test events as well as hill climbs sprints  so decided to go for rear discs for a great the hydraulic handbrake that won't fade or go off unlike drums and a cable handbrake  the front brakes came with the engine so decided to use them as well  hard to beat great brakes and  suspension can never have enough stopping power
