[DomMINIque]

So I've been working on the mini not too much has been happening but I'll share the pictures and progress anyways.
I want to get the breaks working so that when the car was going it would at least be able to stop.

So I stripped the other subframe I had. Wanted to recon the master cylinders there so that I could basically just do a straight swop while still have a rolling chassis.

So here are the photos:

This is what prompted me to sort the breaks out. I'm going to do a complete swop out of both rear hub setup as these two are really horrible.

Badly rusted brake cylinders:

Then some of the subframe parts after a 2 day bath in vinegar.

Was able to open one of the break cylinders. But can't get the other 3 open. So I'm going to try and pump them open with some brake fluid and see if that works. Otherwise replacement here we come.
