Reply to "Goose 8MA642 Refurb and Repaint"

Thanx for inputs. The painters did take the entire exterior of the car down to bare metal, and repaired numerous rust spots and structural rust. However, they did not pull the instrument panel hence the rust you see in pic behind inst panel. I will figure out how best to address that rust. The POR-15 option has worked for me before, but it will be hard to get to both sides of the rusted locations behind the inst panel and the space below the wipers.

As I mentioned, found a place selling the rebuild kit for the 1405995 brake master. Also found a place that sells a rebuild kit for the "large" bonaldi booster. Will check numbers on bonaldi when I pull it to see if this is a match. There must be more to it than just large or small bonaldi boosters. Will probably just replace clutch master and slave. Based on Steve's comment, what is thinking on best fluid to use these days for brakes and clutch?

The real question I have here is...do I replace all the brake and clutch lines as I will never have as easy access to them as I do now? I have never replaced them since I've owned the car (Spring 2007), and the fluid didn't move much in the lines over the last 9 yrs.

If the thought is to replace the lines, is 3/16" nickel copper the way to go?
