Gunter,

Thanks again. I did pick up the 3/4 tools this afternoon and easily removed the passenger's side nut. I may have gotten it with the 1/2" but the 3/4" made it easy. I was able to remove the driver's side (wth a ton of effort) with my original 1/2" tools before I broke them on this side. Just another note on using the right tools makes things much easier. I had to take a family trip to Warwick to get them, but it was worth it. Harbor Freight had an entire 3/4" Metric set (breaker bar, extensions and rachet included) with both the 30mm and 32mm sockets for $56.99. I did have to clean up the 30mm socket, but for the price I didn't mind and it worked just fine.

There is a lot good amount of rust since I had to take it around the water logged yard to put it in the heated "man cave" six days ago which contributed to the rust on the discs, it wasn't there last week when I drove it last. The under carriage needs some TLC, which it will be getting over the next couple of months. The car sat out in the elements for the past five months in Vermont when my family moved from Texas to RI.

I'll keep you guys posted with my progress and upload some pictures. I know others have already, but the more pictures I get to see on here the more it helps me feel like I'm know what I need to do while I'm doing/planning a project.

Thank you everyone,
Matt
