    Decided to sort the front brakes out because the calipers were sticking. Also thought this would be a good chance to change the brake lines and fluid. One caliper came off fine, on the other the brake line nut is seized so need to sort that out. I bought a rebuild kit from dan I followed the guide on here and was very simple.


    Decided to get HEL braided lines fronts arent pictured as i only remembered to take the photo after they were fitted.


    New seals, will give them a clean before fitting.


    First coat of paint on one caliper, needs a bit of sanding to get smooth.

    Will get them fitted back on when i get the seized nut out.

    Had a little problem with the other caliper. The brake line bolt was seized in, spent about 4 hours trying to get it out using everything but then gave up. So instead lucky Difghan off here was helping me and had some spare gts-t calipers.

    Next, i was able to take the car off the road for a few days because i didn't need it some i thought this would be a good chance to sort out the engine bay. It was kind of clean before but not very exciting.

    Before:







    During:

    This is the only during pic i have, forgot to take photos when i took everything out the engine bay.

    ZXSpectrum - The strut brace is a cusco one, it came on the car. Not sure how much they are new.

    Just found this: http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/cat...ca5931c85aef14

    Yup thats the same blue, how strange i just went into halfords and picked out a blue which i thought would looked good with the strut brace. Great minds think a like i guess . The rear one i got off someone on here along with the front lower. So again not sure where to get them from or how much new.

    I was going to degrease it, but then decided to just paint it as a lot easier and better results. I just wiped it down to get any grease and dirt off then painted it.
