That sucks. Sorry to hear about the crash.

[flipstah]

Thanks but gotta stay positive!

Oh no !  :(   <   You know , I was getting to the end of my restore and dropped a quarter window on the rear quarter panel and F'd it up bad.  Then Dan came to pick up to fix and paint  and I tore a hole in the bottom of car trying to get it on trailer.  I can laugh now , but I sure had some bad luck all at once.   Hope your luck turns around and I am sure this will give you an opportunity to fix or paint any other small issues on the car at the same time and be even happier than before.

Spring time! One of the few days I can drive her before snowfall appears again. Gonna order new brakes and the fronts are discs. Are they all the same? Ordering from Mini Spares.

It probably has 8.4 disc just looking at the car. 

[MiniDave]

If you have 12" wheels with standard 8.4" discs, you can use these....

GBP281MS

and these discs

21A2612MS

If you're going to do the rears and have never done them, better plan for new wheel cylinders too

I like these rear shoes

GBS101MS

And this is the number for the rear wheel cylinders

GWC1102MS

[flipstah]

Thanks! Is the MSSK014 applicable as well?

What are the rear cylinders for?

[MiniDave]

Yes, that kit will work fine.....

The rear cylinders are for the rear brakes, if you haven't looked at them in a long time, one or both of the wheel cylinders will very probably be leaking.

If you're just doing the fronts, never mind.

While I'm building my mini spares basket, I got the exhaust changed to a pipe because of an exhaust leak.

[MiniDave]

That sounds good!

[flipstah]

It's better when I'm not light-headed from the fumes.  4.gif

[AcesLow]

Saw this on Reddit today. Getting some exhaust work done?

[flipstah]

Indeed I was. The fumes were dizzying!

[MiniDave]

Captain slow  ;D ;D ;D ;D

[flipstah]

Spring maintenance on deck! Is fuel injector cleaner snake oil?

Brakes are still thick actually.
