Good job. Should run better than it did before it died too.

I have to bleed them every few weeks. The pedal does not move at a red light, but will have air in the front a lot. I have to add fluid to the front half of the tank at the same time. The fluid is going some place but I can not find it. I am going to start with a rebuild kit for the front calipers and new lines.

I've been there done that. Should see brake fluid trails on either inside tire wall. If the new pucks and seals don't work because of the caliper bores then it's new/reman calipers. I bought a used set of fronts from Paul Grant and haven't had any issues in several years now.

I was thinking of just getting new/used ones, Paul just put up a post about parting out a 97.
