Its a csrp kit with rda rotors and ebc pads.
Calipers i painted with a close match to the car.
Cheers! Have you got a link to where you bought the CSRP kit from, or did you buy from them direct?  Looks similar to the kit sold by Custom Mustangs.

I got it direct.saved a bit on shipping as i got the pads and rotors here.
I think it is the same kit as custom mustangs,worked out a bit cheaper doing it this way.
Its not perfect but its mine.

Just sat and looked at it. Better than watching tv!

I remember waiting for my car to get all the rust removed, it took over 2 1/2 years, I sat in front of the television, one night,  with the wipers in my hand, put the steering wheel in front of me, told my wife "shut up I'm driving" while I watched T V  :lmao:
1967 Mustang Convertible with fries and the works, hold the rust, no timber thank you, go easy on the Bondo and I'll have that in Right Hand Drive please.

Picked up a 20 year old pair of 15 x 8 wheels  today funnily enough once  owned  by Barnett I have been told.
I have spent the last 3.5 hours polishing them, they have come up a real treat from what they were very happy with them. I have to pick up the other 2 nos ones (8 year old I think) tomorrow that also need a polish.

Fitted a dual exhaust hanger kit; getting ready for the dual exhaust upgrade.  :smile01:

Just as an aside, I usually buy my parts from either NPD or Virginia Classic Mustang. For those that use CJ Pony Parts -  I bought the exhaust hanger kit from Virginia Classic Mustang for US$84.95 while the same kit from CJ's - 'low price' of US$164.95.  :thud:

Replaced the radiator that was reconditioned last week.  New bottom hose, filled it up and went for a spin.  It runs much cooler but the real test will be how she goes in the summer months.

Gave all the cars a wash and then took the Stang for a cruise to the beach on this beautiful day for some fish n chips.

Added a new toy (actually yesterday) to make it easier and safer to clean/work underneath.

Looking at doing this myself as my knees and legs are shot from the last few weeks under/next to the Mustang and race car.  Was it easy to install?  I would need the base plate version as I only just have enough room to get under the car.

For my Mustang, I stroked her gently to try to improve her mood.....

I have a floor plate type a.d have no issues with it. WAY better than scrabbling around on cold concrete.

I actually had it installed by TuffLift. I figured that if I was trusting my life with it I would pay the price ($550 for the install).

Though I did stick around and supervise, and someone who is half competent could do it in my opinion. A base plate version would be much easier than the clear floor version. Would be about a days work, as the guy who did it took about 4.5 hours. He was pretty pedantic, but very good and a nice bloke.

Took it for a quick run to the servo for fuel, and gave it a wash and clean up, ready to put on display alongside the 2015 Mustang at Binks Ford tomorrow evening...
