Getting rid of "Guards Pink"

How anal should FRUNK be on his break caliber spa day?

Go all out, full OCD brake system rebuild - you only live once you cheap bastard - you'll barely spend over a $1,000 and it'll only take 20 hours of your time

You're cheap and lazy and everyone (including you) knows it. You've already got the paint, clear coat, Porsche decals and a roll of painter's tape - knock out it in an afternoon. Nobody's gonna know the difference unless you point it out. You're in it for about 3 hours of work and under 50 bucks

Do it 3/4 assed - pull the calibers off the car, clean 'em up well, knock out a needed break-fluid flush in the process

Still be lazy but not cheap - pull the calibers off the car, spend about $700 to have them done professionally, plus another $50 in Pentosin brake fluid to bleed the system.

That would be correct. Likely to be a winter project. Buying the 914 and electing to keep the X1/9 rather than selling it has shaken up the priorities on the to do list.
