Or rather you leave it to someone else, pay them a lot of money and then find you have to fix it all properly anyway :? Been there.

Car is back...

The brakes seems to be ok (drums not opened yet) but the pedal is a little bit too soft from my point of view... They used good material I think: LUCAS brake kit - Girling (228x40, 20.6 mm) (part number of the kit: BK 1672)

My steering is lighter with the new tyres, that's a good point... And I really can corner faster!

He has his Mk2 GLT alloys on the beasty! The best alloys originally for the 300 IMO, and look great on a Mk3.
