First off I don't know why this thing is labeled as an LX! It has no tape player, no cd player and no a/c!!
What gives here?
So yeah I'm getting this puppy road ready. Mustang should be repoed any month now (god this bank is taking forever, making me think they forgot me ((YAY!!))).
I just have a question about the cost of labor. Originally my girlfriends brother was going to do all the work but he's taking to long. He keeps saying he'll do it but never does. He's worked on everybody elses car except ours. :bang:
I need to have the rotors, brakes on the front and drums, brakes on the back. How much do you think the labor would run me? I already have the parts!

As it turns out I've taken to doing it all myself. I've done my own brakes before so it should be no trouble right?
One of the brake pads was so worn that it was medled to the rotor. I can't seem to get the right side rotor off for any thing. I got the rear right drum off by beating it, but realized it wasn't to bad and put it back on.
Now is there some thing I need to do to get that rotor off?

I got them off. There was just a ton of rust. There was a large pile of rust dust once I finally got the front passenger rotor off! I'll see abou taking some pics later. The car has been sitting for a year now so I guess it was to be expected!
On a bad note, my wrist feels like crap. Just holding a hammer in my hand felt like to much weight on it. Hopefully its just sprained.
