Drums on the rear will be ok they were still using drums on the rear of VL's so I wouldn't be too concerned there. Get some decent rotors if they are available along with some decent pads and braided lines again if they can be bought.

Some Chryslers were still using drums even in 2001.

HR came out with disc. I converted my kingpin FCs to HR and they are still available much cheaper than your engineer!

Cheers n Beers

I also forgot to mention, my comment relating to the disc on the rear, was Holden didn't bring it out ass an option until the late 70's.....

From shite memory, it was around the LX ish Torana and HZ Holdens.....I could be wrong with that too....

But needless to say, with the OP, go discs on the front and just have new shoes, drums, slave cylinders and brake lines and she'll be good as gold
