Do I or don't I 
Someone is selling a set of standard 20VT alloys which are currently fitted will R888 
Only got about 5mm of tread left but may be worth a go!!!!  Guy only wants £170 for the set of 4 including delivery.....
And once used I could then powder coat em white
Today I whipped of the front disc's to see if my pads are sticking. On start up I some times get a very STIFF brake pedel!!!
Whilst the disc's were off I cleaned of all the nasty rust and re-drilled the vent holes. Also took off the rear wheels but that was only to clean the inside of them

Time to replace my brake fluild with some clean fresh DOT5.1.. Been meaning to do this for a year now. Looking at it the current fluild looks a little cooked I wonder why 
Just waiting for Khris to come over and he can give me a hand with the heavy stuff since my rib is still repairing it's self.
Should not take too long since I have a bleeding kit... Every one should have one. Makes life a lot easier and less mess. Will take some picture later..

Looking good fella! Having a spare set of wheels never hurts, it's just finding somewhere to store them.

And transporting them!!!! That coop boot is very small..

So today we changed the brake fluid;

Great bit of kit this is. Makes is so easy..
I had my jack-man at hand;

Was a great help is taking off and putting the wheels back, shame we have to do it again on the 8th April 
Bleeding brakes 

NOW LOOK AT THE COLOUR of the old stuff 
Even looks like coke..

Yeah I agree  graphite/anthracite it has to be otherwise the will be too much white and is more suited to rally cars, gold is a scooby colour.

I know white wheels are not to most peoples likings.. A few comments have been made on the Coupe forum... Still the main reason for doing them in BRIGHT WHITE is that it should bring people closer to the car and hopefully they will pick up one of my business cards
