The car looks great!

Sorry if I missed this, but what did you have to do to mount the Audi calipers on the rear? Did you use audis for the front also?

Good work and lovely colour. I recognise a number of parts that I have also had to refurbish on my '68. My next job is to cut a cork gasket for the heater controls' assembly you hold in your hand in the one photo.
