AH, new front brakes today, rotors and pads, what a difference.
Before and after pics below.
EB cables were removed and are on their way to In Line Tube for replacement, should
have new EB cables next week. There was no way I was pulling the cables until the front
brakes were done, rears are fine. Though Scott did replace the brake adjusters on both,
he also replaced the wheel cylinders on both a few months ago, that was the brake fluid leak.
New parts from O'Reilly showed up, installed the new PCV elbow and grommet at the breather/valve cover.
Videos here, just a blast today.
Taking The Ark to the Patriot's Square cruise in Saturday night, this is a big one for the mid-Cape area,
can't wait. But I'm sick of the scratches on the car and its not me. Hoping my new signs help....

New breaks, now you are heading to mechanical perfection.  New top and headliner eventually.  Wow!, each improvement means better driving.  You are headed into better than cruiser condition territory!

Hi Scot,
I simply listened to everyone here when I got the car in December. It was stressed to make sure the car was mechanically sound before I started on visually pretty. And when it comes time to be 'visually pretty', go after the items that are a physical threat to the car first, in my case the roof. All the mechanicals have been done, the front brakes waited so long due to no rotors being available until last month. I'm really, really happy with The Ark! But the next 2 winter$ are really going to hurt with the roof thi$ winter and body/paint next winter. I should only have to do this once, right? Its all good.  :)
