Haven't got too much done recently as our first child just arrived.

Took a run to a friend's house early one Sunday morning and collected

- eunos rear panel
- mk1 eunos original front fogs
- centre console and dash parts
- good black door cards
- original tail lights

Fitted 185/55 budgets to the panasports which in hindsight I should have left it the original 60profile size but I'll soon get these burned off and replaced.

Spent a few hours this evening and rebuilt the rear calipers and fitted a new set of discs and pads to finish that off.

Ready for the mot now so will get a date booked and once that's done she will see a repaint.
