civic rear wheel

Had my two rear wheels off today and one drum spun real nice, and the other is rubbing about 1/4 maybe even 1/2 of the spin. Might be slowing down my coasting! ill have to put that on my list of things to do in my 100k tune up. Bearing maybe? idk

I did some rust prevention on the rear wheel wells. Have them watertight so no water settling in there to give that nasty honda rust.
Cleaned up the drums too and gave them a nice coat of black high heat paint. Its lookin so CLEAAAN. Front calipers in the morning.

Theres a couple pics of the before and after brakes. Undercoating is done too. I reattached the rubber strip along the arch that protects from rock chips. Put it back on with with silicone, then ran a bead of silocone all along the whole arch. so its water tight. then sprayed the whole wheel well with undercoaing for extra protection.
