It's had one wash in a year, like a few members on this site!
Well thanks to my van letting me down yesterday and today I have got the calipers back on and bled today with young Amy's assistance 
.
After getting them back on I must admit I was disappointed as it's no where near the body colour
and the finish had dulled off .
So I mixed up some more paint and hardener,pinched one of Amy's paint brushes and put another coat of paint on them whilst they were on the car,this also gave me chance to touch up the bits I had missed before.
Luckily the end result was pleasing so now I'm a happy zedder again.
This afternoon I put some Auto Glym wheel sealer on the wheels and put some shine on the tyres ,this was meant to be dry within 1and a half hours......3 hours later still wet
.......so I put them in the house near a radiator.....dry in half an hour .......but raining outside so not fitted them yet 
.
I just want to get them on the car......but earlier I did have a little play 
.......

Will post a few more pics when all the wheels are back on and it's off the stands.
Might just take you up on your idea of that dodgey geezer in Lincoln doing the mot when it's due

I reckon Reggie would look good with some nice orange callipers, nice contrast with that Montreal? Blue Dave.

Thank you sir......Grumpy
Lets just say it was a learning curve ...........I've learned never to do it again
.Amy wants me to do the ones on her Clio now
,I'll just do the bits you can see .It'll probably end up in a hedge anyway when she's let loose on her own
.So when you doing yours then mate ?

Another grand job you're doing there Steve especially considering how ring rusty you are doing that kind of stuff and the lack of facilities - Well done.
A I going to have to photoshop the callipers on the photos of your car now though

I am definitely rusty with the spanners,it's been years since I worked on any car till recently but it's been enjoyable over all,apart from being outside in the freezing cold brrrr
.Photoshop? Does that mean you can transplant the blue ones onto an old photo ?
