Picked up my 68 dart yesterday and the brake system is beyond toast.
Heres what the shop says:
"NEEDS COMPLETE BRAKE JOB FRONT AND REAR
ALL 4 WHEEL CLYINDERS - ALL 4 DRUMS - HARDWARE ALL AROUND
FRONT BRAKE HOSES - SHOES FRONT AND REAR - LF SHOES ARE SATURATED
GREASE SEALS AND REPACK BEARINGS - REAR SEALS ARE LEAKING NEEDS REAR BEARING ALSO
PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE MOUNT IS BAD
CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN"
So whats the best way to fix this without breaking the bank? Mechanic insisted when I told him I was eventually going to do front disc brakes that I could get some kit in a mopar magazine for disc front and all new hardware in the back for less then the $500ish front disc upgrade.
Another issue is they couldn't get the parts. I'm thinking that they might be available online perhaps though.
Thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
