That was good, must have taken a while to make it, but a very good effect.

The juddering! was your left foot on the clutch pedal shaking with nerves for the up coming driving test! And now you have passed, it's shaking with excitement! ;D ;D I would say its your clutch plate, wearing down, or slight oil seepage, my van does the same, and not all the time. I am living with it until it starts to slip then I will change it! (may as well get my money's worth out of it) :P But as said, it is a good idea to check all the mounts, then you can replace them at the same time as changing the clutch, and then check the propshaft U.J's while it's off, then check the............

That looks great marcustinkerous! And as rob said a good write up. Rob, the "modifying" never stops once you start! Yours will be getting better all the time!

As Wim says they help with the noise when you shut the door! And some road noises. Imagine flicking the edge of a bell, it will ding! Then hold the side, and do it again, it will just click as you flick it, but no ding! That's what the pads do.

I was looking at the dimensions also, we have 3 smarts at work they do look like they will fit. Not driven one very far so don't know how they will feel for a long trip, they are quite firm!

Ah, the same as nick, but he beat me to it, as I was typing! ;)

Have you tried having someone stamping on the brakes? Ideal solution is a windy gun! Or a socket and tommy bar, rotate the hub so that the bar rests on the floor holding onto a nut! This will then lock the hub while you undo the others, then you will have to use something to hold it while you do the last one. Or try wedging something into the caliper/drum to stop the hub rotating and then use a tommy bar/wheel brace to undo them, if you try to undo them so you are pushing down, (the left side wheels, have the bar pointing forward, the right side the bar pointing to the rear) then you won't lift the car! And if tight you can stand on it to help, but be careful you don't slip and shin yourshelf. Good luck

A Toledo sprint! They should have made them for sure. There are a few out there, they just seem to look so right. I do like toledo's.

I used that paint on my truck (ampibious) and can recommend it! But only mix small amounts, so that you don't waste it.

This chap has a standard 8 (not sure how different that is to the 10) but he has a 2.0l motor in it! (although a pinto) http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/123177/1954-substandard-8 Edit: just seen you have also posted on retro rides, so you will probably have seen the above thread! :)
