Been flat out working on her and not getting to bed before 1am every night is killing me but it will be worth it when its done. Here are some pic's of the front brakes from hopper stoppers.



I also got the diff back and have it all back together ready to put in on saturday and i will be putting the engine back in too.
some pics of the diff.

A mate of mine painted it for me. he had a paint shop years ago untill he split with his wife. So then he was just working for a caryard out near holdens in a little work which is wear he painted mine. But now he is moving to a new work shop of his own in the next week or so. He is a top painter and he will be painting my mustang when its ready...
