Babyblue is on a distinguished road
Okay, I went ahead and replaced the rear wheel bearings, parking brake lines, rotors, and pads. While I was at that I cleaned up as much as I could. There was a lot of brake dust, grease etc on everything. Also before anyone says anything about how bad the old components/parts are...I know. I did not have a whole lot of money to throw around. It took me awhile to save after getting the six speed put in there. Anyways, Here are pictures of the work I did. There are a lot of them...
Old and New Rotors


Old and New Parking Brake lines


While I was down there I went ahead and sanded down and painted where the parking brake cables get inserted. I didn't get a before picture but it was pretty rusty.




Old and New Brake Pads




New Brake hardware


These next few will be some before and after of the heat shield, Parking Brake bracket, and caliper brackets.












Here is a pic of all the bolts and parking brake cylinder cleaned up


I did find out I did need to order new springs for the parking brake....


Old and New wheel bearings.





New Parking brake cables on.







New setup on...




And when I was under there Look what I found! Something doesn't look right...



That's all I got for now. I hope you enjoyed checking out the pictures and the work I have been putting into the car. There is much more to do and I'm looking forward to doing it!!!
