Yes, I read the story but I'm pretty sure the story doesnt get fully backed
up by the pics. With all that space in the wheels to look through. I reckon
they are drums on the back, not discs. The rear brakes look like they have
had a nice coat of gloss black on drums.
Fronts, I have looked again more closely, OK I'll wear that they could be as
described. Only being picky, but you cant always believe what you read. Some
people like to embellish a story, particularly when they are looking for a
sale.
Its still a nice example as I have said previously, and I am biased towards
the imported bodies.
