I wish there were a way to visually depict this, but the rear wheel cylinders were rusted SOLID into the closed position. It's no wonder the brake pedal was so firm on the old girl when I drove her home from Boronia. Obviously the car hasn't operated with rear brakes for quite some time

Also drum brakes are not fun to rebuild. Just putting it out there.

disk brakes ftl.

I plan to take this thing around the world, and all disk brakes do is gobble up stones Drums = stoneproof.

fyi: not a performance car

Morton - the Q has already been around the world - and it killed the drum brakes
