Hi All
I was in desperate need of a front brake and disk replacement (Basically a full re build)...and in the process a new paint job...I went from Red to a MAGIC Blue...Mopar all the way...Enjoy the pics...

Ohh I also had the rear drums re painted Black...and the total cost for the job $750.00 Bucks! :shock: :shock: Now you guys know why its mad down here ...they charge the fraking earth! I cant do anything to the car without going into debt! :banghead:

Sucks about the price, but it sure looks good. On a side note I had a nerdgasm when you said fraking, I love Caprica lol

you could have done the work yourself for a fraction of the cost and put some performance rotors...

I wish

mate I wish... but I don't know how to re build the brakes....and I don't know anyone that could have helped me :-(

Painting them is all that I could have done...but they did it for practically nothing....

I wanted to get slotted rotors but they would have cost me 200 dollars more....I'm already maxed out! I need some of you guys down here to help!

What Do you do for work cause there is heaps here ....

If ya are not lazy then you could do almost anything....

During the "Financial Crisis " there was issues everywhere....but Australia came out on top...Unemployment is at about 6 % at the moment ...but it does depend on what you are qualified for....Some areas are booming others are slow...I have been fortunate to be working in a good strong company...FYI I work in IT...
