A new job has slowed down progress, but I did finally get a little work done on the car. Before she goes, she needs to be able to stop. It took 5 soakings of paint stripper to get all the red paint off the calipers. Several baths in an ultrasonic cleaner to remove the rest of the gunk. I'm going for an original look, so I decided not to paint the calipers. I had to freeze the pistons and heat the rear calipers to get the pistons past the seals without detroying them. Apparently the rebuild kit for 'M' calipers is slightly off the size I needed. I replaced the front rotors and repacked the bearings. The rear rotors are within spec, so I lightly sanded off the heaviest of the rust.
