Got the used caliper. It was pulled from a 968 with less miles then my car but it looks worse then mine. I suppose it's only a paint job away from looking fresh.



A buddy of mine is taking my caliper to a machine shop as he knows the guy.



I don't do a lot of DIYs so i figured some pics are in order.









That SS line is so freakin tricky to put in with the car on jack stands.

Never made it to the front R wheel :-(

The caliper i purchased is to the front. Makes mine look new!

Is that a solid rotor, or am I just missing seeing the center venting?
