Parking Brake

I finally got to use a tool I've had sitting around for a long time... my spot weld cutter set.  I got a set of them a few years back to do a different car, but that car is now on the back burner.  I also have a spot weld drill, but due to clearance issues, I figured I'd just use the spot weld bits for this job.

If you've looked at the parking brake on these cars, you know its welded in.  Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your perspective, mine was only attached halfway because the bracket was rusted through in several places.  I'm going to have to find someone who makes the bracket new or fabricate one myself.  The lever itself isn't in bad condition, but the rest of the components will need a full restoration.

You can't see the extensive rust from this side, but the other side is almost nonexistent where it meets the floor pan.
