Brakes are closed system. No breathing -- air MUST be evacuated through bleeder nipples at four calipers (air in system just collapses on itself rather than pushing caliper pistons, making brakes feel "mushy"). Brake fluid also absorbs moisture out of atmosphere. Water in brake fluid worse than air -- just as mushy and rusts system from inside. Re: #5096 in general -- concentrate on mechanicals first. Best cosmetics in the world are useless if car can't be driven. In ideal world you'd do both. With limited resources (time as well as money) you're going to have to prioritize. I'm driving the queen of fixer uppers. Key word in that sentence is "driving". Car practically lives on insterstates 95 and 85. Is why I'm so satisfied with the vehicle. Much easier to keep interest and enthusiasm high when car not stuck in driveway. Is no shame to drive a DeLo commensurate with your resources. At least you're in the race. Are *MANY* (most?) nicer examples than mine, but at least I have one. Look at how many people are still waiting for ownership. At recent NJ pow-wow, with big dent in my passenger door, no headliners, eyebrows, chipped wheels, etc, etc, etc, felt sorry for poor Aaron Crocco who had even less (no DeLo). Note to Rich A: do not worry one bit about attending DeLo get togethers. Have discovered cars themselves are actually LAST thing everybody looks at. #5939's deficiencies are lucky to get even a passing glance. No exaggeration -- events truly are about people and fellowship. Wasted a whole year NOT attending because I had your same fear of scrutiny. Won't make that mistake again. Big exception is when somebody's car misbehaves. Is the great equalizer. Drivers of highest and lowest dollar cars lie side by side underneath to get dead vehicle back on road. And love every minute. Stranded driver may be mortified or embarrassed, but again -- NO ONE ELSE FEELS SAME WAY. Dead vehicle probably never received so much attention (why it died in first place?), but as soon as it's back on road drops from everybody's consciousness. DeLo ownership really ISN'T about the cars... Bill Robertson #5939 >--- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxx> wrote: > > Question.
