Thanks for all the responses and feedback. I think I will take everyone's advice here and try to do the brake conversion myself. I'm sure it will take quite a bit longer but then again I will be learning along the way and saving quite a bit of money. Does anyone have recommendation on which disc brakes would be a good set to get? Should I do all 4 or will doing 2 suffice for now? I don't have a ton of money and I'm not looking for the car to be a track car. I added a few pictures of the bad rear brake as well as a few pictures of the rust on the floor pans from a few different angles. Thanks again for all your help!!

I recently purchased a '73 240z and knew there were some things that needed to be addressed right away. I got new wheels and tires already and now need to address floor pans, brakes and suspension. I got a quote of $500 to fix the rear stock brakes and drums as they were old and leaking brake fluid. I was wondering if I should fix the old rear brakes and use it for the time being until I have some more money or if I should go ahead and do the brakes conversion. If I do the conversion how much am I looking to pay and do I have to change both front and rear? Regarding the floor pans. How much should I be expecting to pay to replace those? The car was lifted up and it was pretty bad. If $$ was a factor is this something I should take care of right away before it gets worse or is this something I can wait a little bit on? I'm new to this and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Colorado (80031) so if anyone can recommend a good place to take my z to to get these things fixed I would greatly appreciate it as well. An honest, trustworthy mechanic is worth way more than $$ can buy.

I'm also looking for a set of black leather seats for my 240z if someone else has another set. I'm in Westminster CO 80031. Thanks
