All the ice is finally gone. I won't risk my baby B on the ice. I love my car way too much even for some fun ice/snow driving. It's probably unhealthy how much I love my car lol

Top pads are driver's side, bottom are passenger side.
The caliper on the passenger side is a little sticky, not sure why.

Could be it was metal to metal, funny how stuff like this just sneaks up on ya. 
Save the driver side pads for the next time the pass side wears out, then put them on that side, then the next time start over with new pads around again, then repeat, my driver side always wears out first.

Not sure why? Probably because they're 40 years old and have never had any fluid maintenance. Rockauto has calipers for 25.79 each.

Lol my bad. I've recently changed the calipers and brake lines. the floating frame around the caliper might be bent.

Re: Bratmobile aka slick willy
Brake problem figured out. Seems we bought a bad rebuild last time...the damaged piston was hidden by the seal.

Re: Bratmobile aka slick willy
Exciting things to happen! Walt bought an air compressor, then he bought me a mediablaster! I have 2 weeks until blue lake, I'm gonna bust my ass to make my B beautiful in time for the show. Fuck I'm so excited.
