Nothing much to report, the shop is getting the brakes zinc coated and calipers powder coated (hubs also getting zinc treatment) and they installed the Brey Krause B pillar brace system:
I have since decided to install a rear roll hoop and when the car gets to Zuffenhaus in the next few weeks i'll have more updates.
Brake Fitment prior to disassembly and coating:
