1974 Valiant Revival
This thing is almost rolling. Got some 11" rear brakes from a local guy near me donated from a Charger and got a rebuild kit from Summit. Cleaned, painted and all bolted in.
I bought new front wheel bearings and seals and kept the front rotors when the car was disassembled in case I could use them again. I wasnt so sure it was worth it at the time but I soaked them in vinegar for a couple days anyway to see if any of the rust would come apart and show any potting underneath but to my surprise, these rotors cleaned up really nice so they'll get a coat of paint and go back on after all.
I noticed the rear housing vent hole where the brake lines meet has been welded over and relocated further in on about the 10 o'clock position of the center section housing. I'm not sure why the previous owner did that but I'm guessing now I'll have to make my own brake lines to fit the new location?
