The brakes are finally installed and ready to go, still no engine but at least this part of the puzzle is finally off the drawing board and installed in the car. For anyone interested in the conversion parts, my bracket design will be available from www.avalancheperformance.com.

Here you can see the brackets from the back side and the new brake lines.

Front suspension all rebuilt and as perfect as I can make it.

Other side. There is some rubbing at full steering lock, but the wheels are 7" wide for heaven's sake.

View of the front with the relocated horns and relocated oil filter.

For those that are wondering...yes those are 17" wheels, plenty of room for even larger brakes. I'm pretty sure these will be enough to slow me down.

Here they are from the side. I've added the Volvo hub caps and the brakes are sporting Q-Matrix pads.

Rear brakes, now you can finally see them.

Here's the view from the side - I'm liking it a lot. Definately not the look I was going for, but I like it.

Here's my fender cover in place and painted...I polished it up a little. Looking very clean under the hood.

And last but not least, by diff cover had a little leak, so I replaced it with this cover from Summit Racing. I painted it with PPG DCC Black and then brushed the ribs. The ribs needed some modification to clear the panhard rod. Looks loads better than the polished bling most go for.

Now all I need is my damn engine.
