85 244 DL up and runnin! 200

hello to all! we are again mobile, and my daughter is elated to have her car runnin once again! can't thank you all enuff for your patience, words of encouragement, advice, and knowledge. hope i can do the same for someone else on this board @ some point. i have found several areas where the wiring has all but corroded thru, is this a normal thing, due to the age and mileage, and does anyone have any suggestions on how to re-wire through the existing looms, without trying to re-invent the wheel?? also, i have noticed that there are several bleeder screws on each caliper, as they are dual piston, i believe.as i would like to change out all the pads, and brake hardware, etc., does anyone have any tips/tricks on doin this, as the only car i've ever done dual piston calipers on was a corvette that belongs to my brother-in-law, and all we did was change the pads. i'm lookin to rebuild the calipers, etc., while i've got it broken down, and would like to do it right the first time, so if there are any good links/downloads, i'd appreciate the addresses of said(the URL'S)if they are not on this board, being as i have not had much time ro browse what's within here!anyway, thanks again! everyone have a grat day!!louis PS, is there a place where we can post some "before and after" pics of this car, as my kid has a friend who does body and fender beyond anyhting you've ever seen, i told him i wanted it to look like it did when it was delivered to the dealer, minus the custom color paint she wishes to chose! thanks again to george, scott, evan, lucid, trev, and everyone else who took the time to hold my hand thru this project!
