I'm planning on doing this on Wednesday (weather dependent) I'll let you know how I get on
I managed to find some time this weekend to get stuck in to my mk1s brakes

these are what i've been dealing with for the last few years, they've definitely seen better days.

old calipers say hello to your big brother

the disc guard needed to be cut away to allow for the bigger celica discs, nothing an angle grinder can't fix

new discs and calipers bolted on, nice and easy just lined up perfectly. I sourced the discs from mtecbrakes.com as they also offer a disc redrilling service.

mk2 master cylinder fitted, does anyone know what the best way to connect the brake fluid indicator? as there doesn't seem to be an obvious solution.

managed to collar my old man into helping me bleed the brakes and she's now back on four wheels ready to hit the road next month, looking forward to seeing the difference.

there's just enough clearance with my 16" wheels, probably around 8mm.
That looks great, always like a caliper and disk that fills the wheel.
good job
Top job. Andy
