I'm working on wrapping up the brakes and spindles for the conversion tonight. Almost finished with blasting and painting parts. Below is a picture of the completed first side. I was able to salvage both rotors, and although the pistons would compress in the calipers, I decided to buy remanufactured ones. At only $21 apiece, it didn't seem like it was worth the effort or the risk in trying to clean/blast them. The inner and outer bearings both looked pretty good, but I opted to replace them as they have been sitting for some time.
Next up will be the console. I want to refinish that before I bring it in the house. I got a chance to go over it with the shop vac earlier today. All the usual stuff: broken glass, 1/2" think gunk in the seat belt buckle storage recesses, and a smattering of mouse poop.
Next posting I will get some pics of the cleaned up console, and what repairs need to be done.
