Topped up the brake fluid.

Err, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the brake fluid supposed to go down as the pads wear thus indicating when the pads need changed?
If you top it up then you potentially suffer brake failure as there will be no pad gripping the disc...?

Unles you mean completely changing your brake fluid, bleeding the brakes etc then I can understand the logic as you do need to that every year or so.

Sorted out this mess!  :sick:



And stripped as much of the interior as possible so I can sort out what the previous cowboy owner did...

Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
