    After a few months of work in the mav, i finally got a taste of it!

    Everything exceeded the expectations!

    Everything but the brakes!

    I had no idea that drum bakes where so bad!

    I can hardly stop the car even with my foot off the accelerator.

    That said i went to the junk yard an ripped a part a 98 mountaneer positive differential.

    I am in the process of installing it.

    But let me share my joy, these is my car in tijuanas commercial district.

    For some reason I can't view the first video.:huh:
    I am switching to manual disc brakes because I have the parts, but if I slam on my drum brakes they'll throw you through the windshield. I just wouldn't want to find out what happens in the rain.
