Ok, I've been watching Ebay for Granada Disc brake kits to do a swap on my 66 fastback. However, after looking at them I started to think that once I buy them I'll probably replace most of what I bought. Example, Ok the spindles I'll keep, they'll need a serious cleaning and paint job before they get anywhere near my car.
But, the rotors all look old and rusted so I'll replace them just because I don't want anything that looks that bad on my car. Not to mention they're probably way old and warped. God knows all the bearings, nuts, and any other crap that wears needs to be brought back into this century by replacing it.
Next on the list, is the calipers. Their 20 years old on some car that some one probably abused. So I'll probably replace them to ensure their safe and good looks.
Lastly, brake lines, I'll want to replace those to ensure their safety.
After all that, what else do I need. I get the spindles and run down to Autozone, Napa, or Advance Auto to get the rest. It would be like my own pay as you go plan making them easier to afford.
THE QUESTION: What am I forgetting? There must be something else to getting these kits from Ebay. Or am I right, get the spindles and buy everything else new. Keep in mind, the way they look is very important to me.
Give me your thoughts guys and gals.
Thanks!
