Thanks, BP. I just put new front pads on and noticed the flexible front brake lines need to be replaced. Oh well, another weekend project. Actually this car looked pretty bad before I painted it, paint was faded and had some surface rust. Believe it or not, this is a daily driver. I've had it for about 6 years and it has about 150,000 miles on it, still running strong, burns no oil. The brakes are a little strange. Sometimes when it gets cold (below freezing) the pedal gets "hard" and its hard to stop. I bled the brakes last year and it seemed to help some. We will see this winter what happens.

Just saw an '88 SSE on Ebaymotors for $1500. It has 298,000 miles on it and still looks pretty good. The GM 3800 V6 is probably the best engine GM has designed since the original small block Chevy motor.
