im not a fan of thumbs up or thumbs down. i think it’s better for people to write their opinion and to comment about why they like something or why they don’t

It’s not a car movie, but I like the James Bond movie where Roger Moore is driving a Ferrari or so and running away from the bad guys and drives into the water and it converts into a mini sub.
I like it. The video quality is good. Maybe you can get a vehicle lift. Make it easier on you to work on your cars and film too. And a tall tripod camera stand to help you out.
I would bleed the brakes at all wheels. This will make sure all the air is out of the lines and you can also replace the fluid while doing this. Just don’t let the master cylinder go dry other wise you will have to start the bleeding process all over again. Also make sure you don’t set the parking brake or step on the brakes with the drums off other wise you will squirt hydraulic fluid all over the place. And after you replace your wheel cylinder and re-install your brake shoes, make sure you check the parking brake cable and re-adjust it accordingly otherwise your regular braking won’t be as effective.
I would go to the how to forum. There’s a free chilton’s manual on there in a thread. That may help you out.
In my experience, it’s hard to get a history from the dealer or a buyer even. In most cases, they either don’t know or they don’t want to tell the whole truth. The best thing to do is have the car inspected. You are your best advocate. Take the car for a test drive. Inspect the fluids, listen for noises, check the wheels, brake ines, etc, etc. You cand have an independent shop inspect it, but I found that doing it myself or having a good friend who knows about cars help you inspect the vehicle is the best thing.
you can use your vin or just open the hood and look on the engine itself. mine’s a 1999 civic and that’s where it’s at.
It also helps to have some knowledge how your car works. I bought a haynes manual and did some reading just to get an idea of how components work and the signs and symptoms of typical component failures. It helps a lot when trying to diagnose a problem. And when your at the dealer/shop you can understand a little bit of what’s going on when the mechanic is explaining what the problem is. Your less likely to be had.
