It would take more work to change it to drums than to fix it with disc parts. Unless he found an old set of trading arms that had drums on them you can't just put drums on without a lot of parts and mods. Pictures are needed.
So what parts do I need to buy to put it back as it came from St. Louis.
At very minimum, a set of rotors, calipers, brackets and backing plates... Hard to give you a complete list without having it all in front to take it apart and see what exactly is there and figure out what has been boogered up to convert to those drums.
Whoever did that rather than import the proper parts to fix it right in the first place should be smacked right upside the head.

If I was going to put everything new starting from the connection to the shaft what do I need? And yes the previous owners of the car deserve much more than a smack on the head. I wish I took a pic of the interior before dismantling. But just to give you some examples of the things done.. They adapted a Hyundai Elentra power button switch for a 4 for car to move the windows. And this thing they put it inside the shift bezel trim where the 4 shift diagram is suppose to go. Also they drill a whole on this trim to adapt a crappy horn button. Besides that all interior except front face of dash was damage to some extent. Also rear view mirrors seem to be from a later model. However like i said I got everything for the interior. To make it brand new again. Seat frames where strip and rebuild and we have really great upholstery work here I know a guy that just by looking at a pic he makes exact reproduction of the interior work and he is great at leather. So I'm calm cause I know and I've seen his work and I know the interior will be back to new same goes for the body. Now my main concern is chassis, engine and brakes of course so. I already got a suspension rebuild kit and all polyurethane bushing set. Now I'm thinking of either koni or tokiko. Also since we have this mayor issue on brakes I guess everything new for the back and new rotors in the front plus the chassis restoration and body and interior I know is going to look and drive good so cause I drove it like this and it was pretty awesome but well this is the only vet I've had/ drove/ ride on or look deep into. So please help.
is there anyway to get this with out the rotors. I've seen a set of 4 wildwood roots for this car for about 350$ and they come drill and slotted? Any ideas?

I initially thought this thread was full of bovine scatology, but now that there is pics...I'll be damned.
If it cost more than the car to restore it. I'm not selling this thing so easily. Besides the car is in Costa Rica. Which makes it rare. Also the car is worth more there than here by the fact that it was imported so you need to pay taxes. But that is not the case. Anyways thanks for all the help.
Just wandering something like this 2 kits could make the trick?www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/640x960/80-image_575ac482468b7dccf9727d6696e2b9b124 ef3f3b.jpg[/IMG]
Looks like the rear suspension is available here, in Fort Walton Beach. Don't know the cost till tomorrow. Shipping is around 187655 Colónes. Customs in Costa Rica could be as much as 100% or 266776 Colónes. Either way it would not take much to crate this and ship.
