I don't know how long I'm going to keep the car but an update to discs is pretty easy and cheap, as Scarebird sells a caliper bracket and adaptors that will fit it ( even tho there made for a Javelin, they'll fit any drum brake AMC spindle )... but for now, I'll fix the small problem with the driver side drum brake, as I just put on 2 new front drums, 2 new wheel cylinders, master cylinder and rebuilt the rear wheel cylinders.
