The rear brakes on the p6 are inboard discs and the calipers are in the most inacessable place that you can find see image.

The best, and most profitable job on the cars, and I did hundreds, in the gutter, in people's driveways, and if I was really lucky, in their garages. Then I got a workshop and did hundreds more. I reckon if I totted up all the money I made doing P6 rear brakes over all the years of doing them, they would have paid for my house.... (Probably with a good bit left over... )

If there were enough still out there to do, I'd still be doing them.

Is that a that lovely shiny jacking tube I see hiding in there? Lucky boy!

Yes - and apart from odd bits just undertaken the car is free from the usual rot spots - The paint is original and has odd very minor blemish that you really have to hunt for - at some stage I will address these but not just yet - I have too many other projects on the go !

Excellent, love those P6's. Looking forward to seeing more of GAD

Lovely 3500! Some very good work there, and it looks like you're keeping on top of all of the work!
