Previously, the car had just been started for the first time in 10 years which is a HUGE accomplishment. Getting the fuel lines re-done and the air vacuum hoses and oil changed was a huge requirement to get this Porsche 914 running great again. But now, the car needs to be able to stop. This car has brakes that are in trouble. To fix this you can either: buy whole new brakes which cost large amounts of money, send them to be cleaned up to a mechanic, or buy a rebuild kit for all 4 brakes. The rebuild kit was the cheapest option. We want to get this Porsche driving on the road ASAP. The rebuild kit for the rear brakes has shown up, but the fronts have not yet shown up. in the rebuild kit, you are given many parts to rebuild and it gives the brakes a refresh. We took apart the rear brakes and put most of the metal parts in a sandblaster, as well as a metal vibratory tumbler. These two will break down the rust and will bring it back to bare metal and will make it look very new. Then we will plate the metal in chromate that is yellow/gold color. This plating will restore its original color and the metal will be dipped in zinc before that which puts a protective barrier for the long term against rust and other harmful materials to the metal.
