Unfortunatly i had to modify the callipers slightley to make them fit.
I thought i did not have to do thad because they came out of an 97ls400.
But hell they fit niceley now.

Did the same thing on the other side then mounted the brake lines with new rings and And have the system bled.
Then the job started where I saw the most reluctant .
Namely all original plastic parts like the wheel arches and airducts (These two things alone were already 60+ bolts / metal screws) replace .
The wheel arch frames re- mounted back .
Sideskirts firmly put right.
All kinds of plastic mounting clips figuring replace / install.
Under the hood plastic parts replaced and closing rubbers.
Bonnet lock held .
And Umm reinforcing beams mounted below in the subframe.
Have IIG weather can put a lot of checkmarks on the to do list.

small update :
Did some little things for the upcoming task of getting the car legal for dutch roads.
I had to install a back fog light because of the year its been build. In holland every 97+ car needs to have one.
And the other small thing was getting a clamp for the battery and tidy it up a bit,
