Do you go and look at them every now and again and touch yourself?

With the rear quarter back in position, it was time to get a coat of paint on.
I'd had to plug a small hole that opened up when pushing out a creased part, which the beady eyed may well spot. Using wet and dry, I removed all the loose paint and rust I could see, before giving it a good few coats of primer.

I thought about leaving it like this, but then remembered that primer tends to be a little bit porous, so decided to seal it with proper paint.

Next job to be tackled was the brakes. Being an F-series the standard brakes were 262s, which are seriously under powered on a car as big as a Lude. I managed to get hold of a set of 282s from Nitin, which I set about cleaning up and painting.

Carrier de-rusted prior to painting

All painted up

Obviously this meant I could no longer use the current discs, so I wandered down to my local stealer to get bent over for some new discs.

Not entirely sure that picture adds much to this thread, but I thought I'd include it anyway.

All fitted.

Took an absolute age to bleed the brakes, mainly due to me letting a huge amount of air into the system. This in turn led me to believe that the master cylinder had died, and swap that over. It only got sorted when I bled it using a vacuum bleeder.

LMAO!!

I never ever noticed the tits until you mentioned it, had to scroll up and see it again.

Neither had I.

And now I'm worried... More interested in the car than copious amounts of tits? WTF IS GOING WRONG WITH ME?!!!
