54 356 Brakes engine 12v ????????

[912UK]

Hi 356 er's

I am looking at the brakes of my 1954 356. I want to restore them what ( sounds silly but I know nothing!!! ) what do I need to look out for like what parts do I need . As I am guessing the cylinders will be duff .

So do I rebuild them or do I dump them for new ones

What will the cost be and were is the best place to get them from.

The car has not moved for 31 years ( did I forget to mention that bit. Ops


I am also wanting to put a 912 engine in the car for now is this easy to do or should I find a beetle engine ( will this be easyer than the 912 unit. ) The 912 unit is a 69.

Also any ideas about converting to 12v At the moment I would just like a temp solution to get it going for now.

And any items I should but on my I MUST BUY NOW LIST before they dry up.

Cheers
