61/62 ek special

[Lunchbox]

I have a 1961/1962 Holden ek special, I need to do the brakes, they are locked on, the car is all original drums all round and no booster, will I affect the originality of the car if I upgrade to disks or even add a booster to the drums? I don't care if I affect the price because I will never sell it

The cars work ok with the drum brakes. it will only cost you maybe $500 in parts to completely renew the whole brake system.
By the time you have a disc brake front end in you wont get any change out of two grand by the time you have the engineers report.

Thanks mate, going to stay with the drums, the car is still all original so I'll keep it that way

just a long shot , but it is an unusual nickname. I used to work with a Lunchbox on the Oil rigs in Bass Strait in the 80's Mr Lombardi.
