15th July: Located XR2 & various Sierras in local scrap yard

18th July: 8h00m: Pulled uprights, driveshafts, and gearbox from XR2, front calipers from Sierra.  Ran out of time to get rear brakes from Sierra!

23rd/24th July: 4h00m: Cleaned up gearbox and uprights.  Amazing what a bit of elbow grease (& GUNK) can achieve:

25th July: 2h00m: Separated front calipers & brackets, ready for exchange.  Cleaned up front caliper brackets & Fiesta uprights ready for painting.

26th July: 2h30m: Back to the scrap yard for rear calipers.  Ended up with right rear from a Granada & left rear from a Sierra.  Don't ask...  Separated calipers & brackets, & cleaned up the brackets ready for painting.  Exchanged front and rear calipers for reconditioned units at local motor factor.

Total time spent during July: 16h30m
