It starts off all good, but ends a little bit sad. Help me RobbMc!
 
Put some new disc brakes on the car.
 

 
 
None too soon by the look of it.
 

 
I had a friend machine down the hubs so that I can fit a Ford wheel on it. Tyres are junk and way too small as they're 185/65, whereas mine are 195/75. Makes about a two inch difference in rolling diameter.
 

 
Got it all working and went for a test drive.
 

 
Brakes worked great, but there was a strange squeaking sound coming from under the car. It seemed a bit random, didn't match up with the revs or road speed, but I did notice that it only happened when I was accelerating or idling on a hill. Got under it and it sounded like it was coming from around the gearbox or torque converter area.
 
Nope, it was my fancy gear reduction starter motor. The throwout wishbone(?) for the pinion has broken into three pieces. Great...
