Got my car back!!! Exhaust looks spot on and sounds amazing.
Pics and video will have to wait till next weekend, I had to rush back to work.
Sorry Andy, forgot to post the tool out. I'll try to get my dad to post it.

we'll see about the rear calipers. The idea for the long term is to upgrade so i didnt really want to buy 2 new rear calipers...upgrade may come sooner that later!
And dont worry, there will be videos of the exhaust! I'm getting it back on tuesday now, it's taking a little longer to make than planned. it's looking really good though, this guy is a complete perfectionist!

Good work Will. It's nice to see it coming together.

Getting the internal spring cage to seat correctly while you insert the circlip is enraging to say the least. Quite a few times i was close to throwing the ****ing thing through the window! Its a massive PITA and by the time you have spent hours wire brushing the rust off, stripped them, cleaned up the handbrake lever pin, bought a new seal kit and rebuilt them and painted them you will wish you had just exchanged for £70 each!
I have some of the odd long nosed 90deg circlip pliers you will need if you want to borrow them
Later his local mechanic took a look at the other before an MOT, and fitted two new calipers anyway.

Ive had them blasted and professionally painted. Today i've made a tool to compress the spring down so putting in the circlip should be a doddle...but we'll see! I've got a special method for getting to these circlips that i'll reveal soon or later!
I thought £30 for the seal kits would be better than £140...especially after the bill for the exhaust! I love my car
