Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg

Here it is Fellas 3.2kg it is, although i weighted them on a shabby scale so i am not very sure if this is a 100% accurate. Anyone knows how much the standard callipers weight?

I got them of a chap on a French rally parts site. These are brand spanking new ones even came in the official PSA box. He is specialized in brake set-ups. I had found a few second hand ones for less money that had been uses or shall i say abused on rally cars. So i preferred to go pay some more and to have a brand new set-up from front to back.
Seems crazy to read the standard callipers weight 6 kg a piece... they look tiny compared to these lol.

Thanks for the info mate

400 for the pair that is around 550€(Ô_ô that is f**king cheap!! they cost the best part of 1k here directly from Pug/Citroen here.
You better get them right away tbh

Looking good, I like the seats!

Thought I would whack it on here for you, after picking up the car from dover and driving it back nearly 200 miles in the rain it kinda looked ok, I had a spare a hour today so thought I would look at the paintwork you mentioned, it appears the bonnet and drivers wing has been replaced at some time, the wing is beyond repair as it has a good piece of paint missing and has started to rust.


Thought I would bring the bonnet back from the dead or see what impact I could make on it.

How it started- iPhone photos but it was very dull



After a good going over with the g3 (harsh cutting compound), then a finer compound and speed glaze we were left with this-



Then a bit of black hole we ended up with this-



I am no professional body man but like to think I can make it look better than it does, I only did half the bonnet and this is what I managed to do. Not too shabby.

Nice effort Carl....

Well as its cold and wet I really didn't have a lot to do so thought I would dig the car out of the snow and take it work and give it the full machine polish treatment, bonnet and drivers wing must have been replaced or repainted some time or other as it was hard work to get it to shine.

What I started with, I was a bit dubious as to whether it would start it has been sat for a good few weeks, fired straight up-



Off we went to work after I had made my fingers feel like they was going to fall off (bloody cold), I don't have any photos during but just a few finished ones, all finished-



This was the result of about 6 hours of solid machine polishing, g3, speed glaze and then black hole mixed with some auto glym, plus all the plastics treated with a wurth product.

A few shots out doors, by this time it's started to snow again-





A friend of mine thinking I was nuts standing in the snow taking photos of a car, yet alone cleaning one in this weather.







A reflection shot-



Well after all that I drove it the mile home and it now looks like this-



Well bodywork wise it it now requires is the drivers side wing to either be repaired and painted or replaced and painted as the edge has been damaged and rusted.

Also a dent on the leading edge of the bonnet.

Not too bad.....

Got some engine parts all painted up in the customers colour (traffic light amber), its bright. Saved some paint for you macro in case you decide to have more bits done to match.





Whilst I was getting engine parts etc done I loaded up some of my own parts for the porsche and put them in too, I got most of it back together now, seemed the more I gave the painters the cheaper the bill was, seemed rude not to, also sent nuts and bolts etc off to be zinc plated.

Carl i am very pleased to see you have put so much effort into polishing the old girl. Honestly i thought that the paint was in such a bad condition that it could not be restored. Guess i was wrong. Have you managed to eliminate the swirl marks and stains on the roof? As those were the bits that seemed the worst to me? As you stated the left side wing was in very bad shape, damaged, rusted and rough as f**k.

The painted parts also look awesome. I'll need to get my Oz Ultras powder coated asap. The bits on the Porsche also look great

Looking forward to the next update

Cheers
