Cheapest Drum Brakes

While I'm on the subject of brakes, what would be the cheapest place to get new drums? Or if anyone has some in good shape shoot me a pm with pics of them.

Those brakes are cherry....I wouldn't change those!

[Festiva_Fred]

They have 12" 4x100s out there, I think I read on here once that the suburu Justy's have them, not 100% sure but I think.

Yeah, I'm just gonna stick with the stock stuff, and paint the stock steelies black.

Are you going to do the aspire swap?

Nope, I wouldn't have bought the 12" trim rings if I was.....

Today's Work

Today I took apart the rear brakes, and I will be replacing the drums, and shoes when I get some new ones.

you need to adress the driver side caliper. it appears that it's not activating properly (lots of rust, and a small ring of clean rotor) address the sliders first (easiest) and then check the function of the caliper piston.

Safety First.

Yes I know, I'm going to check over all the brakes before driving it.

As long as it isn't tore up I can clean it.

Ok I'll get that for you if it isn't tore up

You're doing an awesome job on getting Old Red back to life! Congrats on the work!!! I'm definitely envious! I wish I had that gray hatch with the wiper... that matches my car perfectly! Wanna swap for on w/out a wiper?! LOL

Thanks! If I were closer I might trade you, because I know where another hatch w/wiper is (it's blue)

Hey is that LX a parts car? I need the drivers door panel.

Yes it's basically a parts car, it's my friends dad's car (the guy I bought Old Red from) I think the panels are in bad shape, but I'll check when I go there to get parts for you. I might even have a picture of the door panels.

Found 2 interior pics


As you can see the interiors not so great...
