Progress today, O/S spring has been reseated and i've temporarily put the N/S dust cover back on with a couple of cable ties until a) i can get a replacement one and b) i can get the top nuts undone as even with a pair of extension bars i couldn't shift the top nut. (may give it a blast with my mates air gun tomorrow to see if it'll shift)
Old disks and pads are off and the calipers have been repainted in yellow. and the struts have been painted with black hammerite.
I'm letting the paint set overnight and then some new mintex disks and pads will be going on tomorrow when i fit them. Kam is sorting out some hoses for me, but unfortunately they won't be here tomorrow.
Not too fussed though as i do plan to change the master cylinder in the near future so whilst the system is drained, i can change the lines then.
Also picked up a replacement set of rear quarter glass as the current N/S one has loads of tiny little chips out of it. (need to get some more FSC stickers whilst i think of it :hmm
Also tomorrow i've got a new lower centre console with the side nets to go in, rear tow eye to touch up and if i can get some replacement chevrons then they'll be going yellow to go in the grill.
