1964 220Sb, Great Resto Candidate!

Work on it all winter and be ready to cruise around next spring!

I already have one.

Got any extra piston sets hanging around in either 80.5 or 81 mm overbores?

Nice save! I hope it finds a good home.

Before you get a bunch of $$$$$$$ tied up in the front brakes, try replacing just the brake flex hoses front and rear, flushing the brake system and rebuilding the rear wheel cylinders (which are probably corroded solid inside). You'll probably find that that does the trick.

No such luck...the calipers were frozen solid and the pads worn down to the back plate...parts are not too bad...$200 including shipping for loaded raybestos rebuilds and new rotors from Rock Auto.
