After weeks of working on the brake system, we decided to move on to something a bit more productive - body work. Well, not so much real body work, just a little rust removal and priming. I've tried body work years ago, but I wasn't that good at it. Sooooo - I was thinking I'd just pay someone to do all the minor repairs, replace the really bad parts, and then have it professionally painted. However, several friends have suggested that I should try the body work again, before paying. What the heck! I have a second door off a wrecked car, so I may try my hand at bondo. If I can't master the simple stuff, I'll just have it done. No big loss. ;)
After working on the new door, I'll probably go back to the brakes one more time. I now have all the new brake hoses, which should fix the bakes for good. Time will tell. Stay tuned.
