painted my drum brakes today as they were all cummy and mouldy due to cleaning products getting on them. Never realised how much difference it could make 
only put 1 coat of hammerite on, going to do another coat next week as i had a minor mishap which invloved a 11k car balancing on half a jack which nearly collapsed
some dirty pics for you all to have a gander at 



and some of my Led lights i put in, give off a much better light.


got my eibach springs through the post so hopefully going to fit them with the old man tomorrow, so will have more pics then

for looks, that's all tbh it's only about 100bhp so not nearly fast enough to warrant having them.
