Spent 3 days upgrading the front brakes to Porsche 4 piston Brembo's. I'm using a Porsche 930 front rotor that is adapted to the stock Vanagon hubs. Project is really starting to take shape now.

Very nice ride. I was especially interested in your rear vent/vents for ventilation of your intercooler. Did you custom make these or can they be acquired from a manufacturer? Thanks, Steve
