Brakes, wheels and engines :)

[Turbo-Brown]

Finally managed to get the piccies of last weekend's efforts posted on the interweb so here they are:

Car on shiny new and huge axlestands:



Engine and 'box on sheet of plywood waiting to be lifted and for car to be lowered a bit



Same kinda thing only different angle



A quick piccy of the modded sump with two oil returns from a Landy of some description (cheers for the heads up on those ant!)



And then the latest addition to the merry modified party, my mental new wheels which unfortunately make my big brake kit look tiny



But do have the advantage that they don't need spacers in order to clear the calipers



Cheers!

looks good mate. them wheels look huge. what size are they?

[Turbo-Brown]

They're only 17x7"!

Think when those discs wear out I might have to find some bigger ones and space the calipers out.

Those wheels, where from, and how much with tyres?

That is a mental angle for a car TB, bet the back is close to the floor! Just got my sump out yesterday, doesn't it seem criminal drilling a huge whole in the sump. All in the name of power i suppose though.

Those wheels look the dogs danglies, loving them.

Yeah, was a bit of a scary moment drilling 6 holes in the sump, although I had made up a stiffening plate from 6mm ali so I only had to clamp that onto the outside and then drill through that.

The wheels were Ԛ£650 including VAT, postage and tyres which are Toyo TS1s I think. Got them from a company called edworthy's who I randomly found on the net.

Apparently they're discontinued now though so if ya want a set then make haste
