The story is Here

What is your guess on the problem, I will be pulling it apart when the sun goes behind the building so I can work in the shade.

The brakes worked but when I first hit the pedal, the pistons expanded all the way which is why the pedal went to the floor. The brakes actually stopped me with the help of the tranny but the grinding noise was really loud which made me think there was a major problem, which there was. If anyone has any rear brake pins, let me know what you want for them, I gotta have them before the car can be driven again. I was lucky in the fact it didnt do much damage. The rings on the rim are just scratches. There was no pressure on the pads so it just wore off the paint and dirt to expose a nice clean surface.
