    Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I thought you had to put the calipers into the oven to cure the paint but now that I see I don’t have to do that, with the right type of paint, I’m definitely doing this to my focus. Super awesome instructional video. The step-by-step is top notch. Thank you.

    I have a 2003 1.6l focus (as you probably figure out, from your other videos....) and one thing that always bugged me from day one, it the drum brakes an the back. Although it's a fairly easy job to convert it to disk brakes, I always postpone it.
    Your guides are very detailed, you analyze every step, your filming it spot on, well done 👍
    Appreciate it. Cheers from Greece!!!
