Not realy but I blasted my brakes and left them to a brake specialist that machined the drums and relined the shoes.
And the footstep on the drivers Side was totally rusted so I got rid of that and
I might need to do some repairs under it was a little bit thin.
Or I just rust profe it for now and put a new footstep on and do it correctly some other time.
I don't wont to tear it apart.

Nice split ... love the fact you got to talk to the previous owner.

Of 70% of the cars i own, i bought them from the first or second owner.

Call me emotional or whatever but i always wanne find out where it came from. Changes your look on the car ... makes you appreciate it more.
