Helga's new brakes and struts...

I drove my car down to Tab Tanner's shop in Findlay, OH this AM and he replaced my front struts, front rotors, front brake pads and inner and outer wheel bearings and he put on the stainless steel flexible brakes lines and speed bleeders.

His shop wasn't open, but Tab offered to open his shop today for me and I really appreciate that! Tab did all of this work and even let me get in the way and I learned a few things!

The car feels more steady on the road with the new struts as the old ones were shot. I'll replace the rear brake pads this fall and I'll install the stainless steel flexible brakes lines and speed bleeders on the rears also.

It was a nice 75 mile drive to the shop in the AM, but it was an even nicer 75 mile drive home with the new struts and brakes!

Mark,
Thanks! Tab Tanner really helped me out by talking me into the Webers. I've put over 5000 miles on Helga since 12/22/2006 and I'm having a great time!

Tab,
I think you were practicing a dance move when I caught you! Thanks again for taking the time to work on my car on your "day off", I really appreciate it!
