Maybe interesting info for You
Kreisais=Left
Labais=Right
1=front axle
2=rear axle
D=brakes
S=handbrake
In the front UT brakes with Ferrodo pads
Rear X19 with old unused pads.

All around stainless braided flexi lines, new master cylinder, unrestored cylinders of calipers.
Don’t know what that number exactly means, some braking power - kN?, that is tested my MOT.
 
Ya, I assume it is some sort of pressure readings they did as part of your MOT. I guess that means your rear brakes have greater pressure than the fronts? And it looks like one of your park brakes (hand brake) isn't working? Pretty cool to get actual measurements though.
 
Did the guy at the MOT place explain what the numbers indicate? But I have to say, the second car has same results side to side and the difference between the fronts and rears seems better. I don't remember if you have done any work on your brakes before? It is common for them to need work after sitting without regular use for long periods.

About the wheels. The styles are very similar looking so I don't think it is worth changing for that reason. Unless the sizes are better on one set.
 
Those are kN as I found out, bit it may be different because axles are measured seperately- so how hard he press the pedal. That info because of that is a bit useless :/

I should change to lower profile tires in front or go down to 15” - 16 205/45 doesn’t work in the front.

Today did few things. Rear lower corners are bit wierd, if will have inspiration, will redo them.

I really like the new body panels. Great job! Including the rear corners...what's weird about them?

I agree about the brake test, not very good information from it.

I think the car is far to high now. You should definitely go for 15" very low profile and lowering springs or coilovers. Personally I prefer 185/60 13" and 205/60 13" (rear) and going looow.

will see weirdness a bit later in photo from distance

Just painted 1st layer of primer, I didn’t believe that it ever was going to look good actually :D

Everything looks really good. It is nice when you can see it all the same color, even if it is primer. Just makes the car appear "normal" again. Have you decided on the color?

noup - red, grey and black so far are my options to b me sure about
 
Yes, removing the side pockets seems to be a good idea, at least the right one. I will consider that next week when removing my engine, and preparing for the Uno Turbo engine. The left pocket might be good to keep for creating a cold air intake solution. Well done for painting preparations, but I don't think you should paint it Black. I wote for gray.
