Well yesterday I officially reached the WTF am I doing part of this quick refurb.

Two weeks ago I thought the 'ugly' was the dirty diff with a few years of gunk buildup. After a few hours yesterday just to clean this off the real ugly was revealed.

I have seized bolts in a few places which just need a little more work, always take the optimistic approach here. The original jag caliper set up will be junked (rusted and seized and beyond repair anyway), I will have the Wilwoods rebuilt and also looking at the Wilwood mechanical handbrake (e brake) as well. New rotors will replace the two current different sized rotors (cant explain this).

Bronze bushing kit has been ordered and LCA are currently having gusset braces welded in.

Any tips for identification would be appreciated. To me it appears its a 64-67 XKE, but the input appear different.

Here is just a few before pics, more for reference to what I will get this to.
