vauxhallkeith Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Nice looking car. Looks solid enuf. Fingers crossd u dont have much welding. Myt hav a burst brake pipe. Check and c if there is any brake fluid in it, fresh coat off paint and will look a cracking car mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 As Keith says, could be a brake pipe, leaky wheel cylinder, knackered master cylinder, any number of things. Pump the pedal and have a look for fluid on the floor for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Or run your hand around the inside of the wheels and sniff/taste (only advisable if there are no Tom cats in the area!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
