Default Getting closer
Getting closer to getting my SG back on the road. Hopefully my paint will be done next week. Been apart for a few months so going back together is slower than usual. Have to dismount my front tire and swap directions and rotors. Apparently it matters which way the front wheel is mounted. Brake rotors were rubbing calibers, wheel is offset by approx .100". The wife is dying for a ride and bugging me to get it back together. Hopefully have finished pics by next weekend.

Nice job on the stock rotors, did you paint or powder coat? Either way it 100 times better looking!
