Was meaning to do this sooner but waited till it timed in with getting the wheels repainted, so it was up on stands for nearly 3 weeks. Therefore this is what ive been up to most nights and weekends biggrin
Right front caliper degreased sanded and repainted

Front wheel well detailed, wish bones, top links, roll bar sanded back and most things I could get my hands in there for stripping and repainting with POR15. The job is not great and ultimately a full rebuild of parts would be cool but it will have to wait till a much later date. But certainly will not get any worse put it that way, heh you can eat off the parts now its that clean wink

Rear brembo brakes painted - pathetic looking little things so painted black to hide them. Top links painted as well as drive shafts and lower control arms


Untouched but cleaned up is the chassis its galvanised coating appears in good order. Some parts I just cant get to without out seriously pulling parts out, so too bad!
Got my wheels back from painters today with new tyres fitted and balanced, all looking awesome. Pics of wheels to come.

Oooo, nice brake bling... those front calipers look the same as the Cerb 4.2 ones (AP4200?), what disc size does it run?

Hi 320 x 30mm. these are aftermarket ones which set me back only 700 pounds plus shipping and taxes from UK. Lotus ones which have a unique PCD are 1500 pounds a pair. The only difference is they are 32mm thick, otherwise they pretty much look and perform the same.
