Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

With a "new" set of brake shoes now in my possession, it was time to get them installed. First of all they spent a few minutes in the blasting cabinet to get off the surface (and non-surface) rust that had built up on them. This was probably due to their being just recently dredged from the bottom of the ocean where a sea turtle misplaced them during their long round-the-world tour from the UK to Canada (via Japan).

A misting of paint, and voila! Ready to install.

With the Ten back in the garage, thanks to the pushing skills of the family and a few neighbourhood kids, I was able to install one side so far. A bit of shuffling to get the other side done, and then some brake fluid and parking brake adjustments. I almost have no excuses to get the engine started.
