Good luck :)

Just the one?

If you can't fix the brakes, make the horn louder :)

Not a big problem if the inside isn't to corroded. I hate brake fluid on my hands. When i took the 57 apart for restauration the rear calipers and brake shoes were so stuck corroded that i had to hammer the shoes open and then the calipers. They were hammered apart with a drift. Cleaned all with wire wool, new cups and they functioned an other 20 years.
