Hi all, it's been awhile since I was last on the forum.
Have spent the last 14/16 months repairing/rebuilding and swearing at my 411LE. Some of you will know my car as 'Ebbie' who I got from Bryan and Jane at Volksfarmers maybe 3 years ago now.
I have just had the calipers rebuilt by a company in Worcester called Bigg Red. http://www.biggred.co.uk/
Excellent job and I am very happy. £120 for the pair and they are like new. Best £120 I think Iv spent knowing that they actually work properly.
Ebbie's been off the road for roughly 14 months and I will be putting her in for an MOT in about a week or so with any luck, can't wait absolutely gagging to let rip...!
As I have no garage I have had to make do with a make shift 'Tarp garage' and with the weather last year sort of killed any decent work time. Hence why its taken sooooo long.
I was not in the position cash wise to pay for a proper spray so have used rustoleum and she's been rollered...!

I will up load many more photos when done
Not far off now.
Hope the caliper info is of some use to you all.
Cheers, Jon

Easy Shawn.
Just waiting for the agreed valuation to be confirmed. Then the MOT. Hopefully fly through. finger crossed.
Then I'll up load more photos.
After about 16 months without a proper drive, just shuffling about on the driveway, a few more days waiting for the insurance is a breeze.
But bugger 'I AS SO EXCITED' ............
