As some of you know, I just bought another Ford van to replace the old one I have been driving for 18 years. This one was setting in a storage lot for two years, because of unpaid bills. I bought it from the guy that held the lein, when he goy title to it.

For the most part it's in good shape, but I am converting it to my purposes a little bit at a time.

Yesterday I had my grandson start it, so he could bring it up by the shop to work on it, it was a warm day. So he started it up, and then came and told me there were no brakes. I checked, and there wasn't any. A little investigation showed it had blown out 4 rusted lines, two in the front circuit, and two in the rear.  So now it is getting all new brake lines, it's all of 10 years old.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

Ask Hooley about salt and rust.  Like sand on the beach, it gets into everything.
