Took the teener out for a quick spin to the gas station down the block to put fresh gas in it since it had been sitting for the last few years...
(see back story on that here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=193477&hl= ) And, aside from rekindling my love for the car, I confirmed my earlier suspicion that at least two of the calipers are seized up. probably 3. So, Should I just rebuild them, go for a new caliper, upgrade? What are other people doing, etc. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm the new kid in class, so any advice is cool. It's a '73/1.7 |

If you want a nice used set of front calipers, I've got a couple (I recently upgraded to 911 struts and brakes). $60 shipped to Chicago.
They are in perfect working order, no leaks, etc. Comes with used pads, pins, clips, etc., but no hard lines. PM me if you're interested. |
