I was able to get the brakes done. The rotors, pads, parking brake shoes, and hardware have been replaced. The calipers have been cleaned and painted. I have stainless steel braided front hose. I purchased rear stainless hoses but I couldn’t get the old ones off without damaging the hard lines. I’m going to go back and change out the rear hoses in the future and I may need to replace the hard lines as well. The front brakes have the upgraded larger 302mm rotors.

The old brakes were really bad and the driver’s side parking brake wasn’t working at all. The old fluid was black.

I installed the rear iPD sway bar. I didn’t realize how flimsy the stock one was until I pulled it out and compared the two.

I also burped and pressurized the cooling system. I found two leaks, one was the water pump and one was the rear crossover pipe. I had to pull the timing cover and belt so I could reseal the water pump. THe leak at the crossover pipe was the upper little pipe with the two bolts. Neither was easy to take care of.
