12th July: Kit ordered!
15th July: Located XR2 & various Sierras in local scrap yard 18th July: 8h00m: Pulled uprights, driveshafts, and gearbox from XR2, front calipers from Sierra. Ran out of time to get rear brakes from Sierra! 23rd/24th July: 4h00m: Cleaned up gearbox and uprights. Amazing what a bit of elbow grease (& GUNK) can achieve: 25th July: 2h00m: Separated front calipers & brackets, ready for exchange. Cleaned up front caliper brackets & Fiesta uprights ready for painting. 26th July: 2h30m: Back to the scrap yard for rear calipers. Ended up with right rear from a Granada & left rear from a Sierra. Don't ask... Separated calipers & brackets, & cleaned up the brackets ready for painting. Exchanged front and rear calipers for reconditioned units at local motor factor. Total time spent during July: 16h30m
