I cannot tell from the pics but do you have good pads on the brakes? mine were completely gone when I got mine. I had to buy a new set and bleed the heck out of the line. also the parking brake will probably need to be adjusted. I also took the opportunity to lube the parking brake handle and cable as well. while you are doing brake work it also cannot hurt to remove the old brake fluid and replace it in case there is water in it. they are pretty simple setups a little time and you will have the kids burning tires. these steps may be overkill but it is what i did as safety is important after all.

Ok, due to busy I'm tackling this project this weekend.
Yes, one of the rear brake pads looks thin, bit it's still clearly there. Once all done I'll flush n fill with fresh brake oil all around. Is there some simple brake maintenance guide for me to follow?? (URL link / etc) Solved this, well it's fixed.
