Must be just the picture. There's a gap like in between the wing and the bonnet. About 4 mm. You can only just see it on this picture.

Well, fitted the new shoes today to find out that the discs didn't fit back on.

Corrosion build up inside the discs so needed cleaning up.

Everything seem ok now so she can have it back tomorrow.

Thanks for your help people.

It'll look like this:

Oh no... You've just busted my confidence....

Just taken one side apart and the shoes seem pretty worn.

I'll get some tomorrow and hope for the best.

Thanks,

I'll have to have a look in a bit. If it EVER stops raining.......

My BMW has discs all-round and shoes in the 'drum' and they were fairly easy to take apart so fingers crossed these are the same..

Nice!

I always wanted a GT4 but never had one. Bought an ST for the gf so halfway there

Not kiddy friendly so I had to buy a family wagon....

But then again, I do like the comfort of the 5 Series

Thanks all,

A few pictures of hammering and bashing in progress.....

Polished it and polished it, still purple.

She always wanted a purple sporty car and this is perfect.

Not too fast and brilliant handling.

Thanks,

A few pictures. 1 & 2 when I bought it 3 how it is now

Thanks for the reply,

It has discs all-round. It does make a slight grinding noise when you pull the handbrake slightly whilst driving.

The car is making a grinding noise and it feels like the handbrake is half on.

When it's parked up a slope and the handbrake is released there's a 'clonk' when setting off and it grinds whilst driving.

The normal brakes seem to be working as they should.

Is it just a case of replacing the brake shoes?

Just a quick hello from the UK.

Bought a damaged Celica in 2006, repaired it and driven it ever since.. well my girlfriend does anyway..
