Happy Sunday, Oppo. Roflcopter and I decided to spend the afternoon rebuilding brake calipers on a Volvo. Much progress has been made but I only have a few shots. We sweated a lot, only bled a little, and drank some beers. I'm trying to make fancy videos for everything so for now, here are some pics.

Here we have a Volvo in its natural habitat.

Here we can see how trying to pry the piston out of a seized caliper with screw drivers can result in problems.

This is what the Lolvo is currently rolling on. They truly are the safest vehicles on the road. All the time.

Tune in next week to see a boosted Datsun receive a sweet ass fuel cell and to hopefully see this turd rolling; not very far. Videos. Videos to come as well. Good stuff though. Not potato cam crap.

I finally got them all sorted out!

Stupid yellow flies drove me out of the garage before I got the fronts back on though. At least it's more progress than this thing has seen in quite a while.

You looked like you had plenty to do in yours. Need to get the VW up and going!

I hope next time your in town you can take it for a spin. There are some nice twisty roads right outside the subdivision.

That would be pretty awesome! Let us know if you ever end up down this way and we'll make sure to show you the zero twisty roads we have here. -_-

Are you the Jon Brown I know, or some other Jon Brown that I don't really know? And to answer your question, quality tools make all the difference!

They made it out okay. My knee is bleeding though. At least it wasn't the eye.
