Take a C clamp and press it until the piston goes into the caliper slide the pad in and then hook it all up you should have like a 1/4 inch of clearance when the piston is compressed.

I was pressing the piston in first. This ain't my first rodeo. I think maybe I was just having a downs moment. Not really sure.

Tonight I got a little bit of work done on Calypso. First, the photos from last nights cleaning of the carpets. Could be better, but the worst is in a non visible spot, so I'm going to let it go.
Learned tonight that this car spent almost all it's life in California
My new sub came in, can't wait to get the car wired up for some awesome sound. My current e30 has a serious lack of bass.
Next was updated emblems and badge removal. I'm not a big fan of badging on cars.
Next it was time to clean the dash and remove the skull sticker above the glove box. I also threw the e36 seat I have laying around in the driver seat.
Tomorrow I'm going out to a few yards and come back with quite a few goodies. At least one can hope.

Also that paint you used on the grills, mine is pealing (I did all my bumper trim with it), I'd suggest some SEM paint if/ when it starts peeling.

Originally posted by mohamed... View Postmy paint was pretty bad. i had a body shop friend color sand a buff it and it came out amazing. i also undercoated the rockers and it looks a lot better. also when you do it respray the bottom portion of the rear valence.
from this...

Well, maybe a change of plans for now on the interior. Today I picked up a full interior of beige hounds tooth for about $80. That includes hounds tooth sport seats. They aren't in the best shape but with a little love they will look good. I plan on going to a black interior with vaders, but that's down the road so this will do for now ;D
I had the car stuffed to the gills with parts. Including a front valance I found for Kyle (Cronopoulos). I got some looks going down the freeway, that's for sure.
The hounds tooth.
I also picked up an es lip, which I think will look good, I need to get it sanded down and repainted but that should be no trouble.

Great pick up for 80 bucks. Fix that bolster and you'll be good. I've been using east woods undercoating it's not bad stuff and is pretty cheap.
